The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jan Simons finished 160th of 966 men in the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, in 1:12:01, faster than 83% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:36 quicker than the median and 118th of 966. The race faded late: the second half went 1:59 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:04, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 8:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
