The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rolando Mendoza finished 820th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:41:21.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:38. A harder second half: 3:26 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.
