The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Elle Seeto crossed the line in 1:17:40: 87th of 509 women, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:01 on the median. A harder second half: 1:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sydney gained about 2:05.
