The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dejan Pureta finished 500th of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:39:55.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:13 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:17, behind 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Stuttgart 2025 were 3:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
