The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Matzen finished 246th of 1,122 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:14:34, faster than 78% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:05 quicker than the median and 135th of 1,122. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:58 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Brisbane 2026 were 3:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
