The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2025, Jurjen Bakker crossed the line in 1:22:27: 500th of 1,217 men, faster than 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:02 quicker than the median and 152nd of 1,217. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Heerenveen gained about 0:31.
