The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Brisbane 2026, Raf Mitchell & Rory Ware crossed the line in 1:09:52: 204th of 507 men's teams, faster than 60% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:59 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:40 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Brisbane gave the field time back: about 1:13 faster than the average race this season, by 408 teams who raced both.
