The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Brooks Pollock finished 598th of 1,233 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:31:10, faster than 52% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 32% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:40 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:58 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
