The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Léa Lhostte finished 385th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:34:32, faster than 50% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:15 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:02 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.
