The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:51:53 at Boston 2025 put Ben Smith 1,253rd of 1,463 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:07. The race faded late: the second half went 6:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 10:01 in the roxzone was slower than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2025 and Houston 2025 were 4:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
