The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Eliza Van Motman finished 487th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:40:08.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:16 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 1:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
