The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Liam Burgess crossed the line in 1:21:49: 648th of 1,581 men, faster than 59% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:41 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:07 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2025 were 10:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
