The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2026, Izak Venter crossed the line in 1:17:16: 103rd of 652 men, faster than 84% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:47 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
