The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:28 at Gent 2025 put Jan De Leyn 900th of 1,428 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 51% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:21 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:22 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Gent gave the field time back: about 0:26 faster than the average race this season, by 938 athletes who raced both. That was 0:35 off the time at Oslo 2025.
