The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jason Holmes finished 905th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:45:41.
Legs and stations told different stories: 41% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:21. The race faded late: the second half went 5:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
