The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Michelle Kelly crossed the line in 1:34:33: 262nd of 722 women, faster than 64% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:41. Stronger after halfway: 1:08 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and New York 2026 were 3:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
