The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Esther Markerink finished 605th of 1,009 women in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:37:24.
Legs and stations told different stories: 56% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:23 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Utrecht 2025 were 4:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
