The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Guus Groels crossed the line in 1:12:12: 263rd of 1,620 men, faster than 84% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 65% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:35 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 3:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
