The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Albert Smith finished 228th of 422 men in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:42:35.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:55 quicker than the median and 34th of 422. The race faded late: the second half went 2:08 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.
