The race, in words
1:25:19 at Gent 2025 put Véronique Verschave 288th of 1,009 women in the Open division, ahead of 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:00 on the median. A harder second half: 1:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Gent gave the field time back: about 1:32 faster than the average race this season, by 556 athletes who raced both.
