The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2025, Frank De Groot crossed the line in 1:20:23: 478th of 1,106 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The sled pull was where this race was made, 0:45 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2025 and Amsterdam 2024 were 1:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
