The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:22:33 at Mechelen 2026 put Boris Bertholomé 681st of 1,363 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 64% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:25 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Turin 2026 were 4:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
