The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:05 at Houston 2026 put Michael Tieu 683rd of 1,243 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 82% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 19% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:56 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:20 worse 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.
