The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Stevens IV finished 219th of 268 men in the Pro division at Chicago 2025, in 1:35:25.
Legs and stations told different stories: 33% of the field beaten on the runs, 13% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 4:43 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2025 and New York 2025 were 3:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
