The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:39:44 at Cape Town 2026 put Zandile Motau 407th of 427 women in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 9:52 behind the median. A harder second half: 18:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 14:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
