The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Stern finished 168th of 634 men in the Pro division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:11:45, faster than 74% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 94% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 44% on the stations. A harder second half: 2:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:56, was faster than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Houston 2025 were 2:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
