The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Phil Benjamin finished 104th of 112 men in the Pro division at Mexico City 2025, in 2:13:21.
A station race more than a running one: 24% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 12:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Mexico City ran slow: the 202 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 5:17 slower here than at their other races.
