The race, in three figures
The race, in words
RICHARD MARTINEZ finished 884th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:44:15.
Legs and stations told different stories: 54% of the field beaten on the runs, 17% on the stations. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 3:05. Stronger after halfway: 3:08 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
