The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Matt Piotrowski crossed the line in 1:31:52: 595th of 1,243 men, faster than 52% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 63% of the field across all eight, against 40% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:28 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:45 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2024 were 6:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
