The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Melusi Dube finished 142nd of 178 men in the Pro division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:37:08.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:08. The race faded late: the second half went 2:23 worse 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.
