The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Valicoff finished 276th of 406 men in the Open division at Houston 2024, in 1:40:58.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:08. A harder second half: 7:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2024 and Houston 2023 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
