The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Den Besten took 2nd of 112 in the 30–34 age group at Rotterdam 2026, in 59:44.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:02 quicker than the median and 18th of 570. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:57 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:07, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
