The race, in three figures
The race, in words
58:28 at Mechelen 2026 put Alexandre De Vaucleroy on the age-group podium: 2nd of 167 in the 30–34 age group.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:29 quicker than the median and 1st of 747. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:30 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:08, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Paris 2025 were 6:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
