The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tristan Batt finished 480th of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:49:57.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 2:59 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 6:45 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
