The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marko Abrams finished 964th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:30:03.
Legs and stations told different stories: 45% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:26 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Rotterdam 2025 were 5:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
