The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Maastricht European Championships 2023, Chris Van Dael crossed the line in 1:19:48: 256th of 556 men, faster than 54% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 67% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 40% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:30 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht European Championships 2023 and Amsterdam 2022 were 3:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
