The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2023, Joep Souren crossed the line in 1:15:25: 80th of 575 men, faster than 86% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 92% of the field beaten on the runs, 69% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:44 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:27, ahead of 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2023 and Maastricht European Championships 2023 were 2:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
