The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Thando Thabethe crossed the line in 1:38:56: 124th of 550 women, faster than 78% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:40 quicker than the median and 79th of 550. The farmers carry cost the most time: 0:39 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:38 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 5:13 slower at Johannesburg 2025 than at Cape Town 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
