The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, Yorick Van de Water crossed the line in 1:23:05: 238th of 600 men, faster than 60% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:40 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:02 better 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.
