A runner grabs a cup from a watering station during the Boston Marathon in Wellesley, Mass., on Monday. It was the second-slowest Boston race since 1985, as temperatures rising into the 80s slowed the leaders and may have convinced as many as 4,300 entrants to sit this one out.

Forty-three Washtenaw County residents were among the more than 22,000 who endured record temperatures to complete the Boston Marathon on Monday.

Temperatures of around 70 degrees at the start in Hopkinton rose to 85 by the time the top runners reached the finish line and continued to rise to a record 89 before the field finished its 26.2-mile trek to Boston's Back Bay.

Wesley Korir won the race in a time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, 40 seconds. Sharon Cherop won the women's race in a sprint to the finish to complete the Kenyan sweep.

Brendan Martin of Rochester was the top finisher from the state of Michigan. He was the 13th person to cross the finish line in a time of 2:22:32.
