The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Patricia de Bruijn crossed the line in 1:19:37: 33rd of 169 women, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:53 quicker than the median and 16th of 169. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:05 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
