The race, in words
1:31:56 at Cape Town 2026 put Herschelle Melody 296th of 652 men in the Open division, ahead of 55% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 220th of 652. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 0:41.
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.
