The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Frank Buiting took 2nd of 12 in the 55–59 age group at Barcelona 2026, in 1:22:27.
A harder second half: 1:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 5:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
