The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026, Pablo Tinashe Chimusoro crossed the line in 1:22:30: 90th of 536 men, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 66% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:49 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 5:07 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 9:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
