The race, in words

Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:01 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:42 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:06 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Houston gained about 1:02.
