The race, in words
Heather Gordon finished 140th of 382 women in the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, in 1:40:20, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 81% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:32 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Johannesburg I ran slow: the 140 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 6:38 slower here than at their other races.
