The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Johan Pluim crossed the line in 1:24:05: 243rd of 570 men, faster than 57% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 92% of the field beaten on the runs, 21% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:07 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Heerenveen 2025 were 4:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
