The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:21 at Brisbane 2026 put Safron Ealden 286th of 405 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:10 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Brisbane ran fast: the 360 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:15 quicker here than at their other races.
