The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Taniya Saffy finished 19th of 77 women in the Pro division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:27:06, faster than 75% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:36 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 2:30 slower at Johannesburg 2026 than at Cape Town 1 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
