The race, in three figures
The race, in words
George Gabriel finished 573rd of 1,122 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:26:01.
A station race more than a running one: 61% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:31 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:15 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney ran fast: the 1,013 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:22 quicker here than at their other races.
