The race, in words
Hamid El Aarbaoui took 2nd of 74 in the 40–44 age group at Maastricht 2025, in 1:05:35.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:28 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:27 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:19, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2025 and Heerenveen 2025 were 1:42 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
