The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:53:09 at Tampa 2026 put Amber Smith 428th of 600 women in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 47% of the field beaten on the runs, 21% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:19 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Tampa 2026 and Houston 2026 were 3:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
