The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Sydney 2026, Riley McCormick crossed the line in 1:05:59: 95th of 556 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 91% of the field across all eight, against 68% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:47 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:57 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
