Fitness more important than weight?

This is a picture of me completing the Big Sur half marathon in 1:45:00.  Not blazing fast by any means, but not slow either.  I ran this race at a body weight of 245.  I have never been a small guy so the link to the article below about fitness being more important than bodyweight is exactly what I like to hear!

Physical Fitness Trumps Body Weight in Reducing Death Risks

What I did today:

Warm Up:
- 500m Row
- Dynamic Shoulder Warm Up with Bands
- Samson Stretch (hip flexor)
- Reverse Hypers (glute activation)
- GHD Sit Ups

Strength Training:
Thrusters:
- 45x6
- 135x4
- 225x1+1 front squat.  Wasn't feeling very powerful today to go for 2.

Front Squats:
(Work sets at 65%, 75%, and 85%)
- 215x5
- 248x5
- 281x6

Press:
(Work sets at the same percentages as front squats)
- 140x5
- 162x5
- 183x6

Conditioning:
As Many Rounds as Possible in 10:00 of:
- 5 Push Presses at 185
- 20 Double Unders
Score:  I did 7 full rounds and 3 push presses into the next round.

I was hoping to do one round per minute but fell off that pace after the third round!
