The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2025, Melvin Van Boxtel crossed the line in 1:18:43: 363rd of 1,217 men, faster than 70% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:10 quicker than the median and 270th of 1,217. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2025 and Rotterdam 2025 were 2:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
