The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sarah Smith & Scott Smith finished 884th of 1,099 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:34:10.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 13% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:03 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:11 faster than the average race this season, by 884 teams who raced both.
