The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Deon Wessels finished 197th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:34:31, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 1:08 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:15 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
