The race, in three figures
The race, in words
PATRICK RICHARDSON finished 720th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:37:03.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:31 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:27 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
