The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2025, Michael Stella crossed the line in 1:18:25: 207th of 517 men, faster than 60% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 0:51 quicker than the median and 147th of 517. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:06 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.
