The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2023, Frank De Jong crossed the line in 1:21:42: 169th of 575 men, faster than 71% of the field.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:00 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:51 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:22, ahead of 91% 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.
