The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Paton finished 368th of 556 men in the Pro division at Sydney 2026, in 1:19:31.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:26. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 8:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
