The race, in words
January Medcalf & Megan Jones finished 428th of 798 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:34:27.
A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:02 quicker than the median and 56th of 798. A harder second half: 3:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cape Town ran slow: the 469 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 5:59 slower here than at their other races.
