The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Casey Potatau finished 308th of 467 women in the Open division at Auckland 2026, in 1:52:37.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:02 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:57 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 4:10 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
