The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2025, Alex Hardy crossed the line in 1:30:04: 486th of 1,005 men, faster than 52% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 67% of the field beaten on the runs, 32% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 3:16. Stronger after halfway: 7:01 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2025 and Dallas 2024 were 3:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
