The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Emma Griffith crossed the line in 1:27:16: 165th of 961 women, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:05 on the median. A harder second half: 1:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Houston gave the field time back: about 1:02 faster than the average race this season, by 654 athletes who raced both.
