The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Andrew Glass crossed the line in 1:30:26: 223rd of 740 men, faster than 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:01. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:12 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
