The race, in words
Christian van Dijk finished 290th of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:21:19.
A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:19 from the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
