The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:13:09 at Sydney 2026 put Brian Donaldson 1,522nd of 1,581 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 9:34 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 14:21, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
