The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cape Town 2025, Firdous Variava crossed the line in 1:30:40: 127th of 431 women, faster than 71% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:15 ahead of the median. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:39. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:32 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cape Town 2025 and Johannesburg I 2025 were 6:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
