The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:47:55 at Osaka 2026 put Masaki Watanabe 379th of 511 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 47% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:40 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 23:45 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Osaka ran fast: the 777 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:20 quicker here than at their other races.
