The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, Mikel Saa crossed the line in 1:22:24: 225th of 600 men, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 85% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:33 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:31 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 1,452 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:39 quicker here than at their other races.
