The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Ryan Walker crossed the line in 1:14:02: 228th of 1,122 men, faster than 80% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 68% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:21 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
