The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:44:47 at Barcelona 2026 put Lieze Nijenhuis 326th of 425 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:20, behind 90% of the field.
Barcelona ran fast: the 540 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:31 quicker here than at their other races. 8:46 slower than at Amsterdam 2026, the previous Open race.
