The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Louvic Oelschig finished 317th of 422 men in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:56:41.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:17 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:54 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.
