The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:20:01 at Mechelen 2026 put Nova Smeets 103rd of 776 women in the Open division, ahead of 87% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:20 quicker than the median and 162nd of 776. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:25 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.
