The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Curtly Alves & Richard Johnstone crossed the line in 1:17:39: 166th of 603 men's teams, faster than 73% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 86% of the field beaten on the stations, against 64% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:35 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
