The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:48:50 at Cape Town 1 2026 put Rick Grobler 363rd of 536 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:25 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
