The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:21 at Mechelen 2026 put Rodrigue Ramazani 292nd of 561 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 70% of the field beaten on the runs, 34% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:05 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
