The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Taipei 2026, PUYUAN SHIH & CHENGYU TSAI crossed the line in 1:16:35: 68th of 245 men's teams, faster than 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 61% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:09 quicker than the median and 22nd of 245. The race faded late: the second half went 1:25 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Taipei gained about 1:40.
