The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Knol won the 60–64 age group at Mechelen 2026 in 1:15:46, first of 12.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:16 slower than the median. Quick through the roxzone: 6:13, ahead of 89% 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.
