The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Dent finished 257th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:40:01, faster than 61% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:05 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:58 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 5:12 slower at Johannesburg 2025 than at Cape Town 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
