The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ndidzu Tsatsawane finished 599th of 633 women in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 2:50:52.
A station race more than a running one: 22% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:59 slower than the median. A harder second half: 7:28 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.
