The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andre Van Der Merwe finished 21st of 178 men in the Pro division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:06:55, faster than 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:08 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:34 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Johannesburg 2026 were 5:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
