The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Derick Yu finished 1,097th of 1,233 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 1:58:31.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:40 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 9:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 16:10 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
