The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bob Goedbloed finished 188th of 457 men in the Pro division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:11:55, faster than 59% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:39 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
