The race, in words
Travis Taylor & Mark Thomson finished 437th of 598 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:19:04.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:31 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney ran fast: the 682 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:02 quicker here than at their other races.
