The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Essen 2019, Patrick van der Veen crossed the line in 1:26:27: 99th of 219 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:18 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:56 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:17 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 Essen gained about 4:19.
