The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:08:04 at Mechelen 2026 put Michael K Hughes 134th of 457 men in the Pro division, ahead of 71% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:51 quicker than the median and 51st of 457. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
