The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:26 at Houston 2026 put Edgar Cruz 867th of 1,243 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 49% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 17% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:09. The race faded late: the second half went 1:57 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
