The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mary Walker finished 381st of 509 women in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:43:17.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:25 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:12 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.
