The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Van Den Berg finished 1,145th of 1,620 men in the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:31:09.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:23 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Rotterdam 2024 were 9:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
