The race, in words
Marco Meyer finished 463rd of 556 men in the Open division at Maastricht European Championships 2023, in 1:35:23.
Legs and stations told different stories: 40% of the field beaten on the runs, 7% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:58. A harder second half: 4:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Maastricht European Championships gave the field time back: about 0:45 faster than the average race this season, by 418 athletes who raced both. That was 4:57 off the time at Frankfurt 2022.
