The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:56:58 at Mechelen 2026 put Helen Koenders 701st of 776 women in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 29% of the field across all eight, against 4% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:05 slower than the median. A harder second half: 6:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
