The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Maritz Jooste finished 395th of 652 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:39:35.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 216th of 652. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 0:57.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 11:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
