The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Auckland 2026, Josh Palmer crossed the line in 1:15:12: 109th of 763 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:13 quicker than the median and 85th of 763. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:05 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:39, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Auckland 2025 were 5:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
