The race, in words
1:38:30 at Salt Lake City 2026 put Griffen Mendenhall 553rd of 973 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:08 quicker than the median and 208th of 973. A harder second half: 1:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Salt Lake City ran slow: the 406 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:43 slower here than at their other races.
