The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2025, Aschwin Vermeulen crossed the line in 1:22:04: 482nd of 1,217 men, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 69% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 0:38. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:05 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2025 and Rotterdam 2025 were 2:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
