The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Julien Simery took 2nd of 24 in the 40–44 age group at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:10:26.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:31 quicker than the median and 16th of 191. Stronger after halfway: 2:43 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:31, was faster than 89% 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.
