The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Julián Rueda finished 173rd of 1,428 men in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:11:23, faster than 88% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 94% of the field beaten on the runs, 65% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:33 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:58, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Utrecht 2025 were 4:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
