The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:36:41 at Sydney 2025 put Reece McLeod 1,294th of 1,587 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:20 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:06 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.
