The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Sydney 2025, Matt Balzan crossed the line in 1:12:42: 95th of 333 men, faster than 72% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:30 on the median. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:55 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2025 and Sydney 2024 were 2:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
