The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 86% of the field beaten on the stations, against 66% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:58 quicker than the median and 218th of 1,581. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:52 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney ran fast: the 1,013 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:22 quicker here than at their other races.
