The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kyle Whitaker & Tom Vidal finished 337th of 458 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Salt Lake City 2026, in 1:30:21.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:15 of the median. A harder second half: 1:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Salt Lake City ran slow: the 214 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:00 slower here than at their other races.
