The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:11:02 at Mechelen 2026 put Robert Cruijssen on the age-group podium: 3rd of 51 in the 45–49 age group.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:57 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:09 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 6:18, was faster than 86% 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.
