The race, in words
Martin Wester finished 383rd of 575 men in the Open division at Utrecht 2025, in 1:35:10.
Legs and stations told different stories: 53% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:49 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:55 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. That was 4:45 off the time at Heerenveen 2025.
