The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Maastricht 2026, Rui Afonso e Costa crossed the line in 1:16:43: 173rd of 399 men, faster than 57% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:02 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:04. A harder second half: 2:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:24 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
