The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2025, Kaine Balgowan crossed the line in 1:17:14: 568th of 1,587 men, faster than 64% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:09 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:17 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney ran fast: the 951 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:48 quicker here than at their other races.
