The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Katz finished 142nd of 191 men in the Pro division at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:38:11.
The runs carried this race: faster than 45% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:45 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Cape Town 2024 were 7:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
