The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Erik Valka finished 1,077th of 1,587 men in the Open division at Sydney 2025, in 1:28:53.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:50 on the median. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 2:32 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:20 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.
