The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Nguyen finished 1,146th of 1,463 men in the Open division at Boston 2025, in 1:44:44.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 7% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:18 on the median. A harder second half: 10:51 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Boston ran fast: the 807 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:03 quicker here than at their other races.
