The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christian van Dijk finished 601st of 966 men in the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, in 1:29:01.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:43 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
