The race, in three figures
The race, in words
THOMAS WILGENBUSCH finished 449th of 973 men in the Open division at Salt Lake City 2026, in 1:33:41, faster than 54% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 60% of the field beaten on the runs, 40% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:38. Stronger after halfway: 2:08 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Salt Lake City 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 1:55 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
