The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sipho Marima finished 170th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:31:47, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 55% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:59 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:57 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
