The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:11:20 at Auckland 2026 put Matthew Ferguson on the age-group podium: 3rd of 32 in the 40–44 age group.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:07 quicker than the median and 34th of 251. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:54 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:57, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Perth 2025 were 2:31 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
