The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Craig Mortassagne finished 410th of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:52:18.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 8:02 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:08 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 300 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 8:13 slower here than at their other races.
