The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:44:52 at Osaka 2026 put Roy Chen 830th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 3:10 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Osaka gained about 1:20.
