The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Beijing I 2026, 洪溥 张 crossed the line in 1:24:19: 92nd of 275 men, faster than 67% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 51% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:59 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Beijing I 2026 and Shanghai 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
