The race, in words
1:29:44 at Sydney 2025 put Paul Forsyth 1,113th of 1,587 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:55 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:39 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 1:48 faster than the average race this season, by 951 athletes who raced both.
