The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Roy De Block finished 132nd of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:13:31, faster than 77% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 33rd of 561. The sled push cost the most time: 0:41 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:06 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
