The race, in words
In the Open division at Utrecht 2025, Gert-Jan Spierings crossed the line in 1:21:36: 166th of 575 men, faster than 71% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 56% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:54 quicker than the median and 101st of 575. Stronger after halfway: 2:15 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Utrecht ran slow: the 1,123 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:39 slower here than at their other races.
