The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mehdi Bracq finished 256th of 1,428 men in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:13:56, faster than 82% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 96% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:26 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:44 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Belgium 2025 were 2:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
