Tomas Tvrdik

Tomáš qualifies via AVG: 54:56 and is the definition of relentless. There’s nothing fragile in how he races — he just keeps producing. That consistency is Major currency.

Phoenix storyline: the grinder who won’t leave. He doesn’t need to win the early race; he needs to stay close enough that nobody is comfortable. And once the race gets dark — after sleds, after burpees — that’s when Tomáš becomes most dangerous. He’s one of those athletes who looks better the harder the race becomes, because he can live in discomfort without spiralling. If the men’s field starts cracking late, Tomáš is one of the most likely to climb.
