The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2025, Donovan Owens crossed the line in 1:29:42: 476th of 1,005 men, faster than 53% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 80% of the field across all eight, against 32% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:12 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:37 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2025 and Houston 2023 were 4:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
