The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sed Naidu finished 593rd of 740 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 2:01:13.
A station race more than a running one: 40% of the field beaten on the stations, against 8% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:43 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:37 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.
