The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Rixson finished in the top 10% of the field at Sydney 2025, in 1:07:06 for 137th of 1,587 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:56 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:51 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2025 and Auckland 2025 were 6:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
