The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ryan Nel finished 106th of 422 men in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:29:59, faster than 75% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 80% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 57% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:09 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg I 2025 and Cape Town 2024 were 2:11 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
