The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Phillip Thomas finished 362nd of 418 men in the Pro division at Tampa 2026, in 1:43:18.
A station race more than a running one: 25% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:27 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:43 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Tampa ran fast: the 180 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:28 quicker here than at their other races.
