The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:12:42 at Heerenveen 2026 put Mitchell van Esveld 96th of 490 men in the Open division, ahead of 80% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:35 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:18 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 6:13, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
