The race, in words
Ron Vermeulen finished 303rd of 556 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:28:32.
A station race more than a running one: 59% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:24 quicker than the median and 150th of 556. Stronger after halfway: 3:00 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 1,324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:19 quicker here than at their other races.
