The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:33:23 at Mechelen 2026 put Margriet Oranje 770th of 776 women in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 11:36 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 12:45, behind 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
