The race, in words
Vincent Merven finished 238th of 422 men in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:43:45.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 29% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:35 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 11:38 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Johannesburg I ran slow: the 171 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 7:46 slower here than at their other races.
