The race, in words
Dave Rombout finished 311th of 575 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2023, in 1:30:22.
A station race more than a running one: 65% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 0:59 quicker than the median and 146th of 575. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:41 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.
