The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Ghent finished 229th of 250 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:59:55.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 4:37. The race faded late: the second half went 4:59 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 10:24 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and New York 2026 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
