The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:40 at Cape Town 1 2026 put Schalk-Willem Burger 64th of 536 men in the Open division, ahead of 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:41 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:09 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:59, was faster than 95% 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.
