The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:59 at Mechelen 2026 put Edouard Estour 784th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 75% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 26% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:41 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
