The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Hildebrandt finished 579th of 947 men in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:31:41.
The runs carried this race: faster than 67% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:50 slower than the median. A harder second half: 7:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 4:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
