The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Cape Town 2026, Mark Whittle crossed the line in 1:17:28: 72nd of 178 men, faster than 60% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:12 quicker than the median and 18th of 178. Stronger after halfway: 3:35 better against the middle of the field than before it.
That was 3:57 off the time at Katowice 2026.
