The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Yentl Fennema finished 53rd of 300 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:19:29, faster than 82% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 89% of the field across all eight, against 69% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 3:20 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:57, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Heerenveen 2025 were 4:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
