The race, in words
In the Open division at Utrecht 2025, Richard Laurence crossed the line in 1:24:20: 500th of 1,337 men, faster than 63% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 76% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 46% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:10. The race faded late: the second half went 2:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
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 7:23 off the time at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024.
