The race, in words
In the Open division at Singapore 2025, Gary Mears crossed the line in 1:43:46: 903rd of 1,937 men, faster than 53% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 71% of the field beaten on the runs, 33% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:14 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:10 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 2:38 slower at Singapore 2025 than at Taipei 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
