The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:17:20 at Cape Town 2026 put Alyson Van Zyl 372nd of 427 women in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 5:36 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 7:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
