The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Romy Alberda crossed the line in 1:32:54: 169th of 485 women, faster than 65% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:33 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:33 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:55 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 2:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
