The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Inez Van Engelen finished 887th of 1,009 women in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:54:46.
A station race more than a running one: 32% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:34 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:26 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.
