The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Cédric Smet finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:07:01 for 96th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:57 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:52 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:07, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
