The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:54:01 at Osaka 2026 put Yoshihiko Saito 947th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 30% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:27 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 6:03 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Osaka gained about 1:20.
