The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Benjamin Riches finished 133rd of 615 men in the Open division at Brisbane 2026, in 1:14:36, faster than 78% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 89% of the field beaten on the stations, against 62% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:21 quicker than the median and 34th of 615. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Brisbane 2026 and Perth 2025 were 3:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
