The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Phoenix 2026, Ava Steigbigel crossed the line in 1:33:44: 260th of 550 women, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 64% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:38 quicker than the median and 170th of 550. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:14 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Boston 2025 were 3:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
