The race, in words
Marcel de Vette took 2nd of 10 in the 55–59 age group at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:25:14.
Legs and stations told different stories: 76% of the field beaten on the runs, 35% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:16 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam gave the field time back: about 1:19 faster than the average race this season, by 1,324 athletes who raced both.
