The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Claudia Knox crossed the line in 1:41:33: 142nd of 550 women, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 58% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:32 on the median. A harder second half: 2:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 5:13 slower at Johannesburg 2025 than at Cape Town 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
