The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Michelle Tan crossed the line in 1:30:23: 306th of 776 women, faster than 61% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:46 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:35 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Mechelen ran fast: the 665 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:17 quicker here than at their other races. That was 5:28 off the time at Incheon 2024.
