The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2025, Samkelo Magwaca crossed the line in 1:29:24: 285th of 781 men, faster than 64% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:34 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:35 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2025 and Johannesburg I 2025 were 10:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
