The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:49:13 at Johannesburg 2026 put Wimpie van Zyl 475th of 740 men in the Open division.
The sled push was where this race was made, 0:40 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 3:31 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:13 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg I 2025 were 5:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
