The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Relay division at Houston 2026, Juan Carlos & John Close & Blaine Christiansen & Andrew Albright crossed the line in 1:19:32: 43rd of 92 men's teams, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:35 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
