The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rob Marcelissen won the 55–59 age group at Rotterdam 2023 in 1:21:51, first of 28.
The runs carried this race: faster than 81% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 51% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:12 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
