The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:58:10 at Perth 2026 put Mark Buttner 590th of 636 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:33 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 10:45 in the roxzone was slower than 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Perth 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
