The race, in words
In the Open division at Phoenix 2026, Kaitlyn Lyons crossed the line in 1:35:10: 302nd of 631 women, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:03 quicker than the median and 42nd of 631. The race faded late: the second half went 2:48 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Phoenix ran fast: the 551 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:35 quicker here than at their other races.
