The race, in words
Brandon Paris finished 226th of 423 men in the Open division at Tampa 2026, in 1:32:44.
Legs and stations told different stories: 58% of the field beaten on the runs, 32% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:11 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Tampa gained about 1:00. 5:01 slower than at Washington DC 2026, the previous Open race.
