The race, in words
Bert Veenstra finished in the top 10% of the field at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:05:59 for 33rd of 348 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 96% of the field beaten on the stations, against 74% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 3:18 quicker than the median and 6th of 348. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:01 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:23 slower at Rotterdam 2026 than at Mechelen 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
