The race, in words
Valentin Lamiaux finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:06:41 for 42nd of 561 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:59 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
