The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:32:28 at Auckland 2026 put Matthew Short 165th of 251 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:12 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Auckland ran slow: the 115 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 4:35 slower here than at their other races.
