The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Tessa Lyon crossed the line in 1:24:20: 253rd of 789 women, faster than 68% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 78% of the field across all eight, against 54% on the runs. The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:01 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 4:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
