The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:09 at Mechelen 2026 put Bart Vandenbussche 989th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 52% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:42 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:10 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.
