The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:04 at Cape Town 1 2026 put Irma Sparks 44th of 364 women in the Open division, ahead of 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:20 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 5:21 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:24, was faster than 95% 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.
