The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:39 at Johannesburg 2026 put Herman Smit 94th of 740 men in the Open division, ahead of 87% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:05 quicker than the median and 75th of 740. Stronger after halfway: 3:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
