The race, in three figures
The race, in words
58:16 won the Open division at Phoenix 2026 for Malik Key, first of 616 men.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:26 quicker than the median and 9th of 616. Stronger after halfway: 2:47 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:56, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Houston 2025 were 4:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
