The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Hessel Heerma crossed the line in 1:13:19: 187th of 1,192 men, faster than 84% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 96% of the field across all eight, against 64% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:29 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:36 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 5:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
