The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thulani Motekase finished 81st of 191 men in the Pro division at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:24:03, faster than 58% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:36 quicker than the median and 59th of 191. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:23 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:16 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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.
