The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:12:01 at Sydney 2025 put Ian Gardiner on the age-group podium: 2nd of 17 in the 50–54 age group.
The runs carried this race: faster than 89% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 66% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:55 on the median. Quick through the roxzone: 6:52, ahead of 89% 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.
