The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas Marx finished 94th of 422 men in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:28:09, faster than 78% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:53 quicker than the median and 93rd of 422. The race faded late: the second half went 3:32 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Johannesburg I ran slow: the 171 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 7:46 slower here than at their other races.
