The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rik Biesterbos finished in the top 10% of the field at Gent 2025, in 1:06:10 for 68th of 1,428 men in the Open division.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:00 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:38 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:21, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Maastricht 2025 were 5:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
