The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Diederich took 3rd of 37 in the 50–54 age group at Phoenix 2026, in 1:18:38.
The sled pull was the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 87th of 616. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:17 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:18, was faster than 88% 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.
