The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Chicago 2025, Stephanie Nichols crossed the line in 1:31:58: 518th of 1,127 women, faster than 54% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 36% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:29 quicker than the median and 172nd of 1,127. The race faded late: the second half went 2:47 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Chicago gave the field time back: about 3:08 faster than the average race this season, by 475 athletes who raced both.
