The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:33:22 at Maastricht 2026 put Stefan Sijtsma 341st of 546 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 60% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 34% on the stations. A harder second half: 4:53 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:22, behind 90% 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.
