The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christiaan Janse Van Rensburg took 3rd of 41 in the 25–29 age group at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:06:10.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:50 quicker than the median and 5th of 191. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:45 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:39, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 5:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
