The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gil Nicola took 2nd of 182 in the 35–39 age group at Rotterdam 2026, in 59:29.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:24 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:02 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:16, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
