The race, in words
Rob Beekman finished 320th of 401 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:37:37.
Legs and stations told different stories: 43% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 5:26. The race faded late: the second half went 8:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 1,324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:19 quicker here than at their other races.
