The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:16:48 at Mechelen 2026 put Neil O’Sullivan 423rd of 1,363 men in the Open division, ahead of 69% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:19 quicker than the median and 124th of 1,363. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 2:57 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
