The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2025, Chris Nicholson crossed the line in 1:21:25: 749th of 1,587 men, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:52 on the median. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2025 and Perth 2024 were 5:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
