The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dave Donoghue finished 836th of 1,233 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:40:19.
Legs and stations told different stories: 49% of the field beaten on the runs, 23% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:07 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:39 worse 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.
