The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:38:15 at Maastricht 2026 put Mike Zaar 306th of 394 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 37% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:28 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 6:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
