The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Robin Yu crossed the line in 1:09:38: 168th of 1,363 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:46 quicker than the median and 175th of 1,363. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:45 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:23, was faster than 85% 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.
