The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Coombe finished 470th of 623 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:38:47.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:33 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:03. A harder second half: 3:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
