The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Saskia van der Meulen finished 396th of 608 women in the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, in 1:43:08.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 17% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:53 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 1:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
