The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:40 at Boston 2026 put Tim Ratta on the age-group podium: 3rd of 11 in the 50–54 age group.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 40% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:57 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:01 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Washington DC 2026 were 1:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
