The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Robert Allen crossed the line in 1:20:41: 272nd of 1,243 men, faster than 78% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 89% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 57% on the stations. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:12 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:44 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
