The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Patrick Wells took 3rd of 24 in the 45–49 age group at Auckland 2026, in 1:19:56.
The stations carried this race: faster than 75% of the field across all eight, against 49% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:37 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:40 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Perth 2025 were 2:31 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
