The race, in words
Francois Bekker finished 541st of 781 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2025, in 1:47:25.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 13% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:20 quicker than the median and 92nd of 781. The race faded late: the second half went 4:34 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
