The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Rutger Trietsch crossed the line in 1:22:46: 485th of 1,192 men, faster than 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 45% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:06 quicker than the median and 184th of 1,192. Stronger after halfway: 6:35 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 1,324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:19 quicker here than at their other races.
