The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:29:32 at Houston 2025 put Patrick Thigpen 990th of 1,005 men in the Open division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 11:52. A harder second half: 16:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 11:42 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2025 and Dallas 2024 were 3:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
