The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Maastricht 2026, Mika Ritsema crossed the line in 1:14:25: 60th of 394 men, faster than 85% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:44 on the median. A harder second half: 2:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:24, ahead of 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:26 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
