The race, in words
Ross Shanken took 2nd of 129 in the 35–39 age group at Phoenix 2026, in 1:05:31.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:57 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:24 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:27, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 4:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
