The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aireen Taylor finished 354th of 509 women in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:40:07.
Legs and stations told different stories: 62% of the field beaten on the runs, 12% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:54 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:05 faster than the average race this season, by 588 athletes who raced both.
