The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Barry West crossed the line in 1:22:44: 482nd of 1,192 men, faster than 60% of the field.
A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:15 from the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:25 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.
