The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Wen-Jiang Yang finished 219th of 343 men in the Open division at Taipei 2026, in 1:38:54.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:52 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:42 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Taipei ran fast: the 437 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:43 quicker here than at their other races.
