The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2024, Rodney Babel crossed the line in 1:28:23: 553rd of 1,380 men, faster than 60% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 73% of the field across all eight, against 53% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 53rd of 1,380. Stronger after halfway: 4:06 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2024 and Maastricht 2024 were 1:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
