The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thomas de Rover finished 197th of 1,380 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2024, in 1:18:56, faster than 86% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 56th of 1,380. The race faded late: the second half went 3:13 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:40, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2024 and Maastricht 2024 were 1:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
