The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Machemo Masekoameng crossed the line in 1:41:49: 145th of 550 women, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 57% on the stations. The wall balls were the standout, 1:24 quicker than the median and 158th of 550. A harder second half: 1:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:13 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
