The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Auckland 2026, Simon Jousserand-Shirley crossed the line in 1:14:06: 44th of 251 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:16 quicker than the median and 26th of 251. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:34 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 2:47 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
