The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Theo Pauw finished 92nd of 536 men in the Open division at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:22:38, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 72% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:11 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:17 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.
