The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Taylor finished 212th of 623 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:19:57, faster than 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:21 quicker than the median and 19th of 623. A harder second half: 1:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2024 were 2:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
