The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mick Arentsen finished 1,112th of 1,283 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2025, in 1:44:38.
A station race more than a running one: 27% of the field beaten on the stations, against 6% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:33. A harder second half: 10:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam ran fast: the 1,452 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:39 quicker here than at their other races.
