The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Sophia Cooper crossed the line in 1:20:27: 120th of 509 women, faster than 76% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:49 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:05 faster than the average race this season, by 588 athletes who raced both.
