The race, in words
1:18:33 at Cape Town 2026 put Justin Simmons on the age-group podium: 2nd of 34 in the 50–54 age group.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:08 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:06 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:26, ahead of 88% 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.
