The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Naoya Inoue finished in the top 10% of the field at Incheon 2025, in 1:09:38 for 24th of 497 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 4th of 497. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:42 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:17, ahead of 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Incheon 2025 and Taipei 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
