The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:23:58 at Amsterdam 2026 put Joost Bendermacher 831st of 1,620 men in the Open division.
The sled pull was where this race was made, 0:32 ahead of the median. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:31. A harder second half: 3:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2024 were 4:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
