The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Phillip Meyer crossed the line in 1:39:14: 250th of 652 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 3:05 quicker than the median and 14th of 652. The race faded late: the second half went 1:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
