The race, in words
Patrick Vergeer & Pieter Heeren finished 547th of 580 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:38:14.
A station race more than a running one: 34% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:47 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 989 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:40 quicker here than at their other races.
