The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ethan Gouws won the 30–34 age group at Cape Town 1 2026 in 1:06:58, first of 35.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:13 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:02 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:18, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
