The race, in words
Ciaran O Connor finished 382nd of 636 men in the Open division at Perth 2026, in 1:27:21.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 5:13 quicker than the median and 1st of 636. A harder second half: 2:56 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:16 faster at Perth 2026 than at Sydney 2026, a quicker course than most.
