The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2025, Steve Flynn crossed the line in 1:20:55: 250th of 517 men, faster than 52% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 63% of the field beaten on the runs, 35% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:34 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2025 and Brisbane 2025 were 3:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
