The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:54 at Sydney 2026 put Stephanie Hughes 409th of 509 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:09 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:31 better 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.
