The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Kristof Vanden Brande & Bert Palmans crossed the line in 1:10:47: 163rd of 580 men's teams, faster than 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 60% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 50th of 580. Stronger after halfway: 2:33 better against the middle of the field than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Rotterdam gained about 0:40.
