The race, in words
Rowland Tioaquen finished 1,049th of 1,587 men in the Open division at Sydney 2025, in 1:28:23.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:07 on the median. A harder second half: 1:56 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sydney gained about 1:48.
