The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:14 at Heerenveen 2026 put Ronald van Bommel 557th of 966 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 62% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:23. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:32 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 7:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
