The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Emmanuel Martinez finished 558th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:30:36, faster than 55% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:14 quicker than the median and 217th of 1,243. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:01 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:25 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
