The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:59 at Osaka 2026 put Hideki Arai 858th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 8:56 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Osaka gave the field time back: about 1:20 faster than the average race this season, by 777 athletes who raced both.
