The race, in words
Twan Aarts finished 123rd of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:13:09, faster than 78% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:33 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:32 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Rotterdam 2024 were 7:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
