The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:51:08 at Johannesburg 2026 put Thompson Edmund Gumbe 486th of 740 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 51% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:24 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:54 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.
