The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Hildebrandt finished 672nd of 1,621 men in the Open division at Chicago 2025, in 1:28:08, faster than 59% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 75% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 41% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:42. The race faded late: the second half went 4:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2025 and Boston 2025 were 1:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
