The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mexico City 2026, FRANCISCO MENDOZA crossed the line in 1:32:34: 214th of 595 men, faster than 64% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 58% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 3:28 on the median. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mexico City 2026 and Puebla 2026 were 8:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
