The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Sam Macaulay at Sydney 2025: 1:06:49, 130th of 1,587 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:25 quicker than the median and 276th of 1,587. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:52 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:20, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2025 and Sydney 2024 were 3:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
