The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Mike Van de Kamp crossed the line in 1:15:12: 239th of 1,192 men, faster than 80% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:10 quicker than the median and 122nd of 1,192. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:41 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:24, ahead of 85% 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.
