The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Larry Brede finished 75th of 250 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:25:00, faster than 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:04 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 5:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
