The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nick Chui finished 645th of 947 men in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:35:58.
The stations carried this race: faster than 47% of the field across all eight, against 23% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:59. A harder second half: 1:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and New York 2025 were 1:02 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
