The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Edgar Mutai finished in the top 10% of the field at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:17:38 for 53rd of 536 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:27 quicker than the median and 71st of 536. Stronger after halfway: 3:57 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:46, was faster than 87% 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.
