The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:59:17 at Phoenix 2026 put Victoria (Hoi Ling) Lau 532nd of 631 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:30 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Phoenix gave the field time back: about 1:35 faster than the average race this season, by 551 athletes who raced both.
