The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nick Platt took 2nd of 51 in the 50–54 age group at Sydney 2026, in 1:14:19.
The runs carried this race: faster than 90% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 59% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:36 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:43 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
