The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:41:44 at Salt Lake City 2026 put Rafael Padilla 615th of 973 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:25 behind the median. A harder second half: 10:41 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.
