The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Andrew Jimenez crossed the line in 1:22:49: 336th of 1,243 men, faster than 73% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:20 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:06. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:26 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.
