The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Olivier Struijk finished 293rd of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:18:21, faster than 61% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:46 on the median. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:33 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:39 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
