The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ryan Basson finished in the top 10% of the field at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:12:51 for 25th of 536 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:28 quicker than the median and 34th of 536. A harder second half: 1:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:54, ahead of 96% of the field.
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.
