The race, in words
Rob van Boekel & Linda Carels finished 300th of 560 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:26:01.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:49 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 815 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:36 quicker here than at their other races.
