The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:41 at Mechelen 2026 put Simon Rousseau 364th of 561 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 49% of the field beaten on the runs, 26% on the stations. The sled pull cost the most time: 1:09 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Valencia 2025 were 6:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
