The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Mactavie finished in the top 10% of the field at Cape Town 2026, in 1:12:52 for 52nd of 652 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:50 quicker than the median and 25th of 652. Stronger after halfway: 1:21 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:54, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 1 2026 were 6:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
