The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Alex Davis crossed the line in 1:21:14: 425th of 1,122 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:34 quicker than the median and 388th of 1,122. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:53. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
