The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ashwin van der Aa finished 254th of 1,192 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:15:47, faster than 79% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:52 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:56 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
