The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vincent Ricketts finished 576th of 781 men in the Open division at Cape Town 2025, in 1:50:59.
The runs carried this race: faster than 46% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 13% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 7:31. The race faded late: the second half went 4:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
