The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:49 at Sydney 2026 put Randolph Strickland Jr 430th of 556 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 37% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:34 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:23 faster than the average race this season, by 281 athletes who raced both.
