The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Simon Bungate crossed the line in 1:23:07: 262nd of 623 men, faster than 58% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:01 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney ran fast: the 1,013 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:22 quicker here than at their other races.
