The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:50:46 at Mechelen 2026 put Joke Thielens 647th of 776 women in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 37% of the field across all eight, against 9% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:08. A harder second half: 2:56 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 2:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
