The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Raymil Samuel crossed the line in 1:17:25: 452nd of 1,363 men, faster than 67% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:06 quicker than the median and 358th of 1,363. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:32 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:18 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
