The race, in words
Mercedes Medina & Tara Zimmer finished 444th of 758 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Phoenix 2026, in 1:32:08.
A station race more than a running one: 81% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:52 on the median. A harder second half: 1:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Phoenix ran slow: the 579 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:17 slower here than at their other races.
