The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Abel Abraha finished 565th of 584 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, in 1:59:13.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:40. Paced to finish: the second half went 13:46 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.
