The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Cape Town 2025, Etienne Van Wyk crossed the line in 1:21:07: 59th of 146 men, faster than 60% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:22 ahead of the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:26 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2025 and Cape Town 2024 were 5:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
