The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Guy took 2nd of 31 in the 45–49 age group at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:11:01.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 58% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:49 quicker than the median and 17th of 348. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:01 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:23 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
