The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:03:05 at Osaka 2026 put Zulkernain Abu Bakar 456th of 511 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 30% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 3:29 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:27 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Osaka ran fast: the 777 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:20 quicker here than at their other races.
