The race, in words
1:42:15 at Chicago 2022 put Chris Beneke 157th of 233 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:21 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Chicago cost the whole field time: about 1:58 more than the average race this season, going by 139 athletes who raced both.
