The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:55:57 at Osaka 2026 put Byeongju Choi 965th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 35% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:29 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:15 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.
