The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:06 at Mechelen 2026 put Deborah Driessen 397th of 776 women in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 41% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:40 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
