The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Katie Schmelzer finished 249th of 1,127 women in the Open division at Chicago 2025, in 1:22:42, faster than 78% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:16 quicker than the median and 102nd of 1,127. The race faded late: the second half went 1:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2025 and Chicago Navy Pier 2024 were 3:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
