The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:34 at Johannesburg 2025 put Fernando Silva on the age-group podium: 3rd of 23 in the 50–54 age group.
Legs and stations told different stories: 86% of the field beaten on the runs, 56% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 187th of 652. The race faded late: the second half went 1:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Cape Town 2025 were 5:12 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
