The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:58:44 at Mechelen 2026 put Dieter Van Miert 1,319th of 1,363 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 5:23 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 19:13, behind 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
