The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Shenzhen 2025, Justin Ho crossed the line in 1:33:03: 391st of 928 men, faster than 58% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 46% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:16. Stronger after halfway: 5:30 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Shenzhen 2025 and Hong Kong 2025 were 5:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
