The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Chris Kaelin crossed the line in 1:14:39: 312th of 1,581 men, faster than 80% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 65% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 3:04 quicker than the median and 27th of 1,581. Stronger after halfway: 4:19 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2024 were 2:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
