The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Valentine Vandenbesselaer finished 466th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:38:33.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:02 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:29 better against the middle of the field 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.
