The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mathijs Roosen finished 293rd of 1,192 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:17:13, faster than 75% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 86% of the field across all eight, against 59% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:29 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2023 were 9:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
