The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Nicol finished 471st of 1,122 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:22:42, faster than 58% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 73% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 38% on the stations. The farmers carry cost the most time: 1:10 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and APAC Championship Brisbane 2026 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
