The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Melissa Baldrich Barrios finished in the top 10% of the field at Houston 2026, in 1:22:07 for 90th of 961 women in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:52 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 4:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:57, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 2:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
