The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Alano Salotto crossed the line in 1:33:59: 269th of 740 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:15 quicker than the median and 149th of 740. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:39 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:57 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.
