The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Hidde Ceelen crossed the line in 1:25:28: 255th of 570 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:51 quicker than the median and 89th of 570. A harder second half: 2:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Rotterdam gained about 1:19.
