The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Taipei 2026, Mark Ibardaloza crossed the line in 1:34:09: 379th of 852 men, faster than 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:58 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Taipei 2026 and Bangkok 2025 were 9:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
