The race, in words
Joana Mateus & Shelby Rouessart finished 522nd of 714 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Johannesburg 2025, in 1:59:25.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 13% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:30. A harder second half: 5:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 346 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 13:57 slower here than at their other races.
