The race, in words
1:55:33 at Shanghai 2025 put Melvin Goh 786th of 914 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 1:06. A harder second half: 10:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Shanghai gained about 2:15.
