The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kelly Paulo finished 181st of 550 women in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:28:11, faster than 67% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 54% on the stations. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:11 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:43 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and New York 2025 were 4:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
