The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicky Baks finished 870th of 1,380 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2024, in 1:36:05.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:41 quicker than the median and 449th of 1,380. A harder second half: 3:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2024 and Rotterdam 2023 were 3:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
