The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2025, Bailey McDonald crossed the line in 1:20:26: 172nd of 1,290 women, faster than 87% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 99% of the field beaten on the stations, against 61% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 3:12 quicker than the median and 8th of 1,290. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:05 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Boston gained about 2:20.
