The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Asanda Buza crossed the line in 1:43:25: 300th of 652 men, faster than 54% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 85% of the field across all eight, against 25% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:17 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 8:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Johannesburg I 2025 were 4:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
