The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:28 at Mechelen 2026 put Damian van Beek 545th of 1,363 men in the Open division, ahead of 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 77% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:15 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:41 worse 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.
