The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:19 at Sydney 2026 put Manuel Grundy 915th of 1,122 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 34% of the field across all eight, against 12% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:24 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:17 worse 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.
