The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Guadalajara 2026, Luis Carlos Samano Valdes crossed the line in 1:23:05: 241st of 1,361 men, faster than 82% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 61% on the stations. The sled pull was the standout, 0:45 quicker than the median and 357th of 1,361. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Guadalajara 2026 and Mexico City 2025 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
