The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:47:08 at Houston 2026 put Alex Rios 930th of 1,243 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:51 on the median. A harder second half: 5:39 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.
