The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Cape Town 2026, Storm Herbst crossed the line in 1:19:24: 81st of 178 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 66% of the field across all eight, against 42% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:14 quicker than the median and 46th of 178. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:30 slower than the median.
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.
