The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Johan Muller finished 914th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:28:17.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:08 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
