The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jack Blissett took 2nd of 36 in the 45–49 age group at Maastricht 2026, in 1:03:53.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 20th of 399. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:11, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:24 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
