The race, in words

Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:38 on the median. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:20 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:56 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 5:56 off the time at Rotterdam 2025.
