The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, Verushka Jooste crossed the line in 1:42:46: 151st of 382 women, faster than 61% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:26 quicker than the median and 105th of 382. A harder second half: 5:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Johannesburg I ran slow: the 140 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 6:38 slower here than at their other races.
