The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nnamdi Maduagwu finished 749th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:38:12.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:24 quicker than the median and 217th of 1,243. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:19 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
