The race, in words
Melody Deguzman finished 816th of 961 women in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 2:10:37.
A station race more than a running one: 37% of the field beaten on the stations, against 8% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:03 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Houston gained about 1:02.
