The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rome 2026, Niels Kuijl crossed the line in 1:24:09: 518th of 1,062 men, faster than 51% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 0:42 quicker than the median and 233rd of 1,062. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:05 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
