The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Jess Mitchell crossed the line in 1:25:00: 198th of 745 women, faster than 73% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 62% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:39 quicker than the median and 152nd of 745. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:17 better 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.
