The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Monique Van der Rijst crossed the line in 1:23:37: 46th of 169 women, faster than 73% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:57 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:05 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
