The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Mohamad Ibrahim crossed the line in 1:23:13: 490th of 1,122 men, faster than 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:47 quicker than the median and 332nd of 1,122. A harder second half: 1:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney ran fast: the 1,013 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:22 quicker here than at their other races.
