The race, in words
1:28:40 at Sydney 2026 put Zachary Randall & Penelope Sandercock 411th of 596 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:18 from the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:54 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.
