The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:19 at Cape Town 2026 put Jakkie Booysen 442nd of 652 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:21 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:34 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Cape Town gained about 1:55.
