The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Cokesic finished 1,148th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:38:33.
The stations carried this race: faster than 32% of the field across all eight, against 7% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:12 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Stockholm 2025 were 3:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
