The race, in words
Alette Wal finished 794th of 1,009 women in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:46:59.
A station race more than a running one: 43% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:58. The race faded late: the second half went 4:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Gent ran fast: the 556 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:32 quicker here than at their other races.
