The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:08:04 at Cape Town 2026 put Thomas Ntimba 590th of 652 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 30% of the field beaten on the stations, against 3% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:20. A harder second half: 9:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Cape Town gained about 1:55.
