The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gerbrand Smidt finished 687th of 966 men in the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, in 1:32:25.
The runs carried this race: faster than 43% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 22% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:04 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:57 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
