The race, in words

Legs and stations told different stories: 64% of the field beaten on the runs, 14% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:37 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:44 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.
