The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:15:00 at Amsterdam 2026 put Sam Groeneveld & Bob Kalkman 610th of 994 men's teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:19 of the median. A harder second half: 2:53 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Amsterdam gained about 1:52.
