The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rick Van Rijn finished 735th of 1,283 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, in 1:29:29.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:31 quicker than the median and 406th of 1,283. The farmers carry cost the most time: 0:44 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2025 and Amsterdam 2024 were 1:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
