The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Phoenix 2026, Vasili Piliouras crossed the line in 1:12:53: 190th of 634 men, faster than 70% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 88th of 634. A harder second half: 1:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
