The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Joe Carson crossed the line in 1:16:16: 299th of 1,122 men, faster than 73% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 81% of the field across all eight, against 61% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:11 quicker than the median and 119th of 1,122. Stronger after halfway: 1:32 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.
