The race, in words
1:29:51 at Cape Town 2026 put Dean Barkhuizen 270th of 652 men in the Open division, ahead of 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 94% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:59 quicker than the median and 20th of 652. A harder second half: 3:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Cape Town ran fast: the 214 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:55 quicker here than at their other races.
