The race, in words
Yao Hsuan Lai & Ray-Ting Shen finished 170th of 245 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Taipei 2026, in 1:33:31.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 13:20 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Taipei gave the field time back: about 1:40 faster than the average race this season, by 202 teams who raced both.
