The race, in words
Kelly Northover finished 492nd of 745 women in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:42:38.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:35. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:05 faster than the average race this season, by 588 athletes who raced both.
