The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Arne Specht finished 419th of 556 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:37:38.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:46. The race faded late: the second half went 3:32 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 1,324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:19 quicker here than at their other races.
