The race, in words
1:24:38 at Cape Town 1 2026 put Philip Cooper on the age-group podium: 3rd of 12 in the 45–49 age group.
A station race more than a running one: 78% of the field beaten on the stations, against 47% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:48 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:38 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Cape Town 2025 were 3:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
