The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Nathalie Frans crossed the line in 1:22:42: 147th of 776 women, faster than 81% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:32 quicker than the median and 24th of 776. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
