The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jeff Bates finished 583rd of 696 men in the Open division at Sydney 2024, in 1:37:18.
The runs carried this race: faster than 37% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 8% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 3:30 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2024 and Sydney 2023 were 7:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
