The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thom van Brakel finished 427th of 966 men in the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, in 1:22:29, faster than 56% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:59 on the median. The farmers carry cost the most time: 0:40 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:01 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Rotterdam 2026 were 1:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
