The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ward Joris finished 505th of 575 men in the Open division at Rotterdam 2023, in 1:49:19.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 3% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:25 on the median. A harder second half: 5:56 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam ran slow: the 421 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:12 slower here than at their other races.
