The race, in words
David Ramontsi finished 289th of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:35:11, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:57 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:29 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 210 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:51 slower here than at their other races.
