The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Frances-Claire van Veen finished 557th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:44:26.
The runs carried this race: faster than 42% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 20% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:10 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:14 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.
