The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Mirjam van der Laag crossed the line in 1:34:14: 185th of 485 women, faster than 62% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 160th of 485. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:29 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:15 better against the middle of the field 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.
