The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Philip Walravens finished 473rd of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:35:55.
The wall balls cost the most time: 4:23 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 11:31 in the roxzone was slower than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
