The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dave Doey finished 972nd of 1,233 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:47:27.
A station race more than a running one: 37% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:12 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Toronto 2026 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
