The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jordi Andries finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:03:07 for 31st of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:21 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:20, was faster than 99% 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.
