The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rory Stephen finished in the top 10% of the field at Sydney 2026, in 1:06:56 for 32nd of 623 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:38 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:51 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 6:10, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Brisbane 2026 were 3:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
