The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Shafwaan Laubscher finished 538th of 652 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:56:50.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:09 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 10:14 in the roxzone was slower than 85% 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.
