The race, in words
Jake McSorley & Elley Irwin finished 805th of 1,099 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:30:33.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 12:04 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Sydney ran fast: the 884 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:11 quicker here than at their other races.
