The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:06:34 at Brisbane 2026 put Matthew Ferguson on the age-group podium: 3rd of 31 in the 40–44 age group.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:46 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:53 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:59, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Brisbane 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 5:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
