The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Abdullah Karyemez finished 1,108th of 1,192 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:54:59.
A station race more than a running one: 24% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:38 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam gave the field time back: about 1:19 faster than the average race this season, by 1,324 athletes who raced both.
