The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:11:18 at Amsterdam 2026 put Pieter Schoenmakers on the age-group podium: 2nd of 55 in the 50–54 age group.
The stations carried this race: faster than 93% of the field across all eight, against 72% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:35 quicker than the median and 149th of 1,620. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:07 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
