The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Greg Mueller won the 50–54 age group at Phoenix 2026 in 1:08:53, first of 37.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:34 quicker than the median and 97th of 616. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:00 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:33, ahead of 96% 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.
