The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Heather Ramirez finished 463rd of 550 women in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:57:18.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. A harder second half: 9:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 10:35, behind 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Dallas 2024 were 3:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
