The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Benjamin Riches crossed the line in 1:10:35: 186th of 1,581 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 96% of the field across all eight, against 76% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:15 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:17 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Brisbane 2026 were 3:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
