The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2025, Bernard Bravenboer crossed the line in 1:29:35: 289th of 781 men, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 38% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:39.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2025 and Cape Town 2024 were 2:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
