The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gregory Barysky finished 167th of 250 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:39:37.
The stations carried this race: faster than 49% of the field across all eight, against 19% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:01 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:51 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
