The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:33 at Toronto 2026 put Mark Liao 332nd of 545 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 67% of the field across all eight, against 24% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:14 quicker than the median and 120th of 545. A harder second half: 2:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 6:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
