The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Talgo finished 391st of 1,233 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:24:37, faster than 68% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 46% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:27. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:47 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
