The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thierry Delalonde finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 58:53 for 20th of 457 men in the Pro division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:39 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:13 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:07, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
