The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jeroen Smidt finished 302nd of 1,380 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2024, in 1:21:57, faster than 78% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:44 quicker than the median and 128th of 1,380. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:52 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:49 slower at Rotterdam 2024 than at Maastricht 2024, which makes this time better than it looks.
