The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ruben Cerda finished 473rd of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:28:06, faster than 62% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 41% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:51 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:31 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Las Vegas 2026 were 2:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
