The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Ludy finished 588th of 616 men in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 2:13:39.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 5:11. A harder second half: 2:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 12:19, behind 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 4:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
