The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christo Olivier finished 280th of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:34:40, faster than 62% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:37 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:04 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 210 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:51 slower here than at their other races.
