The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Heerenveen 2026, Tim Dekker crossed the line in 1:12:39: 141st of 454 men, faster than 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:25 on the median. A harder second half: 2:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
