The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Erasmus finished 493rd of 652 men in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 2:01:46.
Legs and stations told different stories: 44% of the field beaten on the runs, 14% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:04 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 300 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 8:13 slower here than at their other races.
