The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, Mario Zietsman crossed the line in 1:40:12: 211th of 422 men, faster than 50% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 78% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:56 quicker than the median and 88th of 422. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:23 better 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.
