The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:11 at Mechelen 2026 put Billy Yang 648th of 747 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:20 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 10:47 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 14:15, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
