The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nic Hanekom finished 108th of 181 men in the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:37:27.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:25 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
