The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Maritz Jooste finished 224th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:36:40, faster than 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:35 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 5:12 slower at Johannesburg 2025 than at Cape Town 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
