The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas Dahm finished 882nd of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:27:28.
The stations carried this race: faster than 56% of the field across all eight, against 24% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:21 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:21 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 5:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
