The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Belgium 2025, Rob Smyth crossed the line in 1:19:11: 494th of 1,638 men, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:59 on the median. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Belgium 2025 and Berlin 2024 were 5:56 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
