The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Aalia Patel crossed the line in 1:32:50: 93rd of 633 women, faster than 85% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:20 quicker than the median and 38th of 633. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:44 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 7:40, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 7:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
