The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Tampa 2026, Hans Van Vliet crossed the line in 1:13:28: 129th of 1,079 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:17 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:29, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Tampa 2026 and Boston 2025 were 6:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
