The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Dallas 2025, Eric Bumpus crossed the line in 1:25:39: 809th of 2,078 men, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 45% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 0:30. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Dallas 2025 and Houston 2025 were 3:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
