The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Aalbers finished 441st of 1,283 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, in 1:21:21, faster than 66% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:50 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:52. A harder second half: 3:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2025 and Amsterdam 2023 were 4:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
