The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gerrit van Doornik finished 317th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:22:07, faster than 75% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 55% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 2:14 quicker than the median and 17th of 1,243. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:26 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
