The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Ryan finished 1,146th of 1,243 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 2:10:05.
A station race more than a running one: 23% of the field beaten on the stations, against 3% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:34 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:10 better against the middle of the field than the first.
That was 51:02 off the time at Birmingham 2025.
