The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, William Chen crossed the line in 1:09:02: 119th of 1,122 men, faster than 89% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:31 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 7:06, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
