The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Peter Liau crossed the line in 1:18:47: 222nd of 1,233 men, faster than 82% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 88% of the field beaten on the runs, 62% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:13 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 7:15 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Washington DC 2026 were 1:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
