The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Natan Decoutere & Tijs Messiaen crossed the line in 1:08:30: 180th of 674 men's teams, faster than 73% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 92% of the field beaten on the stations, against 58% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:09 quicker than the median and 24th of 674. A harder second half: 1:57 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Rotterdam gained about 0:40.
