The race, in words
1:51:51 at Rotterdam 2026 put Niels Aalbers 511th of 570 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 35% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:03. The race faded late: the second half went 2:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Rotterdam gained about 1:19.
