The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Jean-Louis Duhoux crossed the line in 1:11:38: 231st of 1,363 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:36 quicker than the median and 218th of 1,363. Stronger after halfway: 2:39 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 6:17, ahead of 87% 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.
