The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:57 at Mechelen 2026 put Anthony Vernet 570th of 1,363 men in the Open division, ahead of 58% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:36 quicker than the median and 320th of 1,363. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:32 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Paris 2024 were 9:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
