The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Ferris finished in the top 10% of the field at Sydney 2026, in 1:01:56 for 19th of 1,581 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:44 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:54 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:57, was faster than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
