The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Leandro Bijlhout finished 987th of 1,380 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2024, in 1:39:16.
Legs and stations told different stories: 52% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:51 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2024 and Amsterdam 2023 were 2:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
