The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026, Izak Venter crossed the line in 1:20:36: 49th of 181 men, faster than 73% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:07 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:06 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
