The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lieke Gol finished in the top 10% of the field at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:17:40 for 19th of 485 women in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 99% of the field beaten on the runs, 74% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:45 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:27, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 2:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
