The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Patrick Fruean crossed the line in 1:23:10: 265th of 623 men, faster than 58% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 73% of the field across all eight, against 40% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:19 quicker than the median and 165th of 623. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:03 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
