The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Denise Van Rooij finished 302nd of 411 women in the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, in 1:43:57.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 20% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:27 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:41 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 605 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:50 quicker here than at their other races.
