The race, in words
Raymond John Collins finished 800th of 852 men in the Open division at Taipei 2026, in 2:19:50.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 8:18. The race faded late: the second half went 13:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Taipei ran fast: the 437 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:43 quicker here than at their other races. 7:26 faster than at Delhi 2025, the previous Open race.
