The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Wu took 3rd of 215 in the 30–34 age group at Taipei 2026, in 1:02:39.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:54 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:10 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:32, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Taipei 2026 and Taipei 2024 were 11:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
