The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ambrose Bates finished 260th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:40:11, faster than 60% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 0:58 on the median. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:24. Stronger after halfway: 2:39 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.
