The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Johannesburg 2026, Krystal Mtasa & Mufaro Mushamba crossed the line in 1:41:55: 490th of 1,061 women's teams, faster than 54% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:53 quicker than the median and 195th of 1,061. A harder second half: 4:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 355 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 10:46 slower here than at their other races.
