The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Quigley finished 368th of 517 men in the Open division at Sydney 2025, in 1:29:05.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:03 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney ran fast: the 951 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:48 quicker here than at their other races.
