The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alan Boyle finished 429th of 517 men in the Open division at Sydney 2025, in 1:36:19.
Legs and stations told different stories: 35% of the field beaten on the runs, 7% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:47. A harder second half: 6:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 1:48 faster than the average race this season, by 951 athletes who raced both.
