The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex van Roon finished 463rd of 616 men in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:46:59.
A station race more than a running one: 51% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:50 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:56 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Dallas 2024 were 5:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
