The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Femke Van Roekel finished 273rd of 290 women in the Open division at Rotterdam 2023, in 2:08:37.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 2% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:32. A harder second half: 7:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Rotterdam ran slow: the 196 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:27 slower here than at their other races.
