The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Laura Derks finished 286th of 288 women in the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, in 2:26:09.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:27 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 7:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 12:14 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
