The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Johannesburg 2025, Timothy Malan & Larissa Otto crossed the line in 1:26:24: 192nd of 594 mixed teams, faster than 68% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 93% of the field beaten on the stations, against 45% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:25 on the median. A harder second half: 1:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg ran slow: the 244 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 6:15 slower here than at their other races.
