The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Charles Creutzburg finished 1,324th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 2:03:43.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:48 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 14:28 in the roxzone was slower than 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
