The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Lissa Melvin crossed the line in 1:26:14: 148th of 961 women, faster than 85% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:00 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:24 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 6:10, was faster than 91% 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.
