The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Julien Deflandre finished 1,017th of 1,428 men in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:32:19.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:46 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:19 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Gent ran fast: the 938 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:26 quicker here than at their other races.
