The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Phoenix 2026, John Heitz crossed the line in 1:18:05: 285th of 634 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 64% of the field across all eight, against 44% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:48 quicker than the median and 142nd of 634. The race faded late: the second half went 1:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Boston 2025 were 1:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
