The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Craig Cooper crossed the line in 1:25:08: 773rd of 1,581 men, faster than 51% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:58 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:02 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
