The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Haig Gibb finished in the top 10% of the field at Cape Town 2026, in 1:09:57 for 38th of 652 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:16 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:22 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:55, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Johannesburg 2026 were 5:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
