The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Beijing I 2026, 威 沈 crossed the line in 1:26:06: 348th of 1,267 men, faster than 73% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:19 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Beijing I 2026 and Shanghai 2025 were 3:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
