The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:51 at Johannesburg I 2025 put Graham Parker on the age-group podium: 2nd of 13 in the 50–54 age group.
The runs carried this race: faster than 80% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 33% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:45 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg I 2025 and Cape Town 2024 were 2:11 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
