The race, in words
1:23:38 at Maastricht 2026 put Roel van Bakel 511th of 1,119 men in the Open division, ahead of 54% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 71% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:16 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:20 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Maastricht ran slow: the 1,153 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:44 slower here than at their other races. 0:31 faster than at Rotterdam 2026, the previous Open race.
