The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Wessel Slotemaker took 2nd of 99 in the 45–49 age group at Rotterdam 2024, in 1:13:54.
Legs and stations told different stories: 98% of the field beaten on the runs, 62% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 1:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:15, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2024 and Amsterdam 2023 were 2:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
