The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vanessa De Amicis finished 741st of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 2:11:53.
The sled push was the standout, 0:32 quicker than the median and 78th of 776. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:38 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:47 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.
