The race, in words
Dean Douglas & Jourdan Hewett finished 457th of 596 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:33:03.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:12 on the median. A harder second half: 2:05 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.
