The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:47 at Mechelen 2026 put Maxence Sappen 414th of 561 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:58 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
