The race, in words
和弘 西川 finished 919th of 1,119 men in the Open division at Osaka 2026, in 1:50:55.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:31 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:15 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.
