The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:13:29 at Phoenix 2026 put Sam Papanikas on the age-group podium: 2nd of 37 in the 50–54 age group.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:25 quicker than the median and 122nd of 616. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:34 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:45, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
