The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Brown finished 630th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:32:59.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 36% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:57 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:02 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
