The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:58:30 at Osaka 2026 put Masaki Sato 982nd of 1,119 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 40% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 9:46 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 14:00 worse 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.
