The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Duval finished 768th of 947 men in the Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:47:06.
Legs and stations told different stories: 30% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 7:10. The race faded late: the second half went 5:20 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Phoenix 2026 and Atlanta 2025 were 3:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
