The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Mike Rietveld at Rotterdam 2026: 59:38, 5th of 556 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:40 quicker than the median and 8th of 556. Stronger after halfway: 2:32 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:41, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 5:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
