The race, in words
Melissa van der Burg & Simone Rebers finished 303rd of 466 women's teams in the Doubles Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:33:10.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:16 from the median. A harder second half: 1:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 949 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:19 quicker here than at their other races.
