The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Utrecht 2025, Jelmer De Groot crossed the line in 1:24:56: 232nd of 575 men, faster than 60% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:33 quicker than the median and 74th of 575. A harder second half: 1:53 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
