The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nesrine Lamhiyek finished 505th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:41:13.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 20% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:57 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
