The race, in words
Michael Lawson finished 349th of 556 men in the Pro division at Sydney 2026, in 1:18:26.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:21. The race faded late: the second half went 1:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sydney gained about 2:23.
