The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:55:31 at Johannesburg 2026 put Mbali Ndhlovu 321st of 633 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:46 quicker than the median and 172nd of 633. A harder second half: 4:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
