The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Alessandro Gallinetti crossed the line in 1:35:52: 301st of 740 men, faster than 59% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:55 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:20 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.
