The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Johannesburg I 2025, Roché Du Preez crossed the line in 1:46:11: 172nd of 382 women, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 3:22 quicker than the median and 14th of 382. The race faded late: the second half went 9:37 worse 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.
