The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Richards finished 375th of 696 men in the Open division at Sydney 2024, in 1:23:40.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:27 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 2:41 faster than the average race this season, by 317 athletes who raced both.
