The race, in words
1:45:56 at Chicago 2025 put Melissa Kniedler 842nd of 1,127 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:50. A harder second half: 5:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Chicago ran fast: the 475 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:08 quicker here than at their other races.
