The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Emma Cole finished in the top 10% of the field at Cape Town 1 2026, in 1:16:09 for 7th of 364 women in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 3:03 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:30 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:18, ahead of 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 1 2026 and Johannesburg 2025 were 10:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
