The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:41:04 at Maastricht 2026 put Didier Mathieu 909th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:34 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:47 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
