The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, michael maldonado crossed the line in 1:24:43: 393rd of 1,233 men, faster than 68% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 84% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 54% on the stations. The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:14 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 5:13 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
