The race, in words
Samuel Smith & Jennifer Jung finished 543rd of 1,099 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:22:01, faster than 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:49 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:11 faster than the average race this season, by 884 teams who raced both.
