The race, in words
Richard Heath & Madeline Clark finished 766th of 1,099 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:29:03.
A station race more than a running one: 55% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. A harder second half: 1:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sydney gained about 2:11.
