The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Adam Penning crossed the line in 1:14:19: 235th of 1,122 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 92% of the field across all eight, against 58% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:09 quicker than the median and 129th of 1,122. Stronger after halfway: 2:53 better against the middle of the field 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.
