The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:22:51 at Maastricht 2026 put Niels Goedbloed 159th of 394 men in the Open division, ahead of 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 77% of the field beaten on the runs, 42% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:42 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:26 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
