The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Bram van ‘t Noordende crossed the line in 1:10:06: 126th of 747 men, faster than 83% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:48 on the median. A harder second half: 1:44 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:53, ahead of 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
