The race, in words
Simone Barends finished 161st of 233 women in the Open division at Hamburg 2025, in 1:38:52.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 20% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:49 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:48 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Hamburg gave the field time back: about 2:06 faster than the average race this season, by 624 athletes who raced both. An improvement of 26:21 on Heerenveen 2025.
