The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:11 at Houston 2026 put Aaron Ramirez 898th of 1,243 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 49% of the field across all eight, against 17% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:14 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:40 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.
