The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lynda McCabe finished 138th of 633 women in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 1:38:28, faster than 78% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 61% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 3:38 quicker than the median and 39th of 633. Stronger after halfway: 1:00 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 161 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:14 slower here than at their other races.
