The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thibaud De Keyzer finished 1,269th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:48:53.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 4:42 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:59, behind 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 4:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
