The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:37:12 at Mechelen 2026 put Dennis Van Der Bok 477th of 561 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:47 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:27 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
