The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marco Theisen finished 99th of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:08:59, faster than 87% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:13 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:25 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:59, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Katowice 2026 were 2:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
