The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thobeka Tshabalala finished 623rd of 633 women in the Open division at Johannesburg 2026, in 3:10:28.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 10:40 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 33:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 28:04, behind 99% 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.
