The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Liam Armstrong at Sydney 2026: 1:02:33, 24th of 1,581 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:10 quicker than the median and 21st of 1,581. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:53 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:02, was faster than 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
