The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:19 at Boston 2025 put Alex Smith 582nd of 1,463 men in the Open division, ahead of 60% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:45 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:17. The race faded late: the second half went 1:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2025 and Chicago Navy Pier 2024 were 3:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
