The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martijn Van Esch finished 290th of 570 men in the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:26:37.
Legs and stations told different stories: 64% of the field beaten on the runs, 38% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:39 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:59 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 7:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
