The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Samuel Tester crossed the line in 1:14:03: 287th of 1,581 men, faster than 82% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:56 quicker than the median and 94th of 1,581. A harder second half: 2:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 6:58, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and APAC Championship Brisbane 2026 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
