The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2025, Morné Willemse crossed the line in 1:34:26: 371st of 781 men, faster than 53% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:32 on the median. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:34 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 9:17 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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.
