The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2023, Manfred Roschek crossed the line in 1:22:21: 182nd of 575 men, faster than 68% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 78% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:20 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:28 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Rotterdam ran slow: the 421 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:12 slower here than at their other races.
