The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2025, Damien Ruparel crossed the line in 1:15:38: 223rd of 1,463 men, faster than 85% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 69% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 1:47 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:46, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2025 and New York 2024 were 3:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
