The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicole Van Rooyen finished 138th of 427 women in the Open division at Cape Town 2026, in 1:32:34, faster than 68% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 82% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 47% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:00 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:42 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 1 2026 were 4:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
