The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Tineka Smith crossed the line in 1:24:19: 183rd of 745 women, faster than 75% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:17 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:41 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:05 faster than the average race this season, by 588 athletes who raced both.
