The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:57:33 at Mechelen 2026 put John Sookdew 553rd of 561 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 5:28 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:44 better against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 13:49, behind 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
