The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Natalie Ralphs finished 228th of 550 women in the Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:51:43, faster than 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:14 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:13 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
