The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Orin Ball won the Open division at Perth 2026 in 55:34, first of 454 men.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:53 quicker than the median and 2nd of 454. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:04 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:02, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Perth 2026 and Sydney 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
