The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Paulette Taku crossed the line in 1:27:35: 171st of 961 women, faster than 82% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:21 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 2:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
