The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jean-Claude Fernandes finished in the top 10% of the field at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:17:53 for 42nd of 652 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 4:04 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:21 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:48, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
