The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ryan Smith finished in the top 10% of the field at Sydney 2026, in 1:09:32 for 145th of 1,581 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:44 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:04 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 6:45, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Brisbane 2026 were 3:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
