The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul van Mulekom finished 953rd of 1,428 men in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:29:50.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 15% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:28 behind the median. A harder second half: 9:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Heerenveen 2025 were 3:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
