The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ariel McNeil finished 642nd of 1,127 women in the Open division at Chicago 2025, in 1:36:34.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 29% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:48 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Chicago gave the field time back: about 3:08 faster than the average race this season, by 475 athletes who raced both.
