The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026, Tebogo Manaka crossed the line in 1:28:45: 83rd of 181 men, faster than 54% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:14 quicker than the median and 36th of 181. The sled push cost the most time: 0:50 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:13 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
