The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:17:12 at Sydney 2026 put Brent Smith 322nd of 1,122 men in the Open division, ahead of 71% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:19 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:44 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
