The race, in words
Mitch Zelman finished 792nd of 1,079 men in the Open division at Tampa 2026, in 1:42:47.
A station race more than a running one: 43% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:26 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:09 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.
