The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Werner finished in the top 10% of the field at Sydney 2026, in 1:01:25 for 34th of 556 men in the Pro division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:43 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:49 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:51, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Brisbane 2026 were 3:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
