The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jacco Borgman finished 989th of 1,428 men in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:30:59.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:45 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Rotterdam 2024 were 8:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
