The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Josh Tomsheck finished 177th of 623 men in the Open division at Gainful Anaheim 2024, in 1:22:46, faster than 72% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 55% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:25 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Gainful Anaheim 2024 and Los Angeles 2022 were 2:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
