The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:18 at Mechelen 2026 put Mieke Theys 51st of 169 women in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:52 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:59 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:28 worse 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.
