The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christian Barrera finished 859th of 1,233 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:41:30.
Legs and stations told different stories: 59% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:24 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
