The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:18 at Mechelen 2026 put Dennis Frederix 877th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 49% of the field across all eight, against 23% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:56 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:05 better 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.
