The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Malvin Tembedza crossed the line in 1:38:10: 330th of 740 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 76% of the field across all eight, against 34% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:24 ahead of the median. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:16 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
