The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Pickels finished 1,737th of 1,739 men in the Open division at Las Vegas 2026, in 3:12:53.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 29:17. A harder second half: 40:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 21:40 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Las Vegas 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
