It was a very impressive performance, not least because he made a mess of his pacing and blew up.<\/p>\n<p>This time around he judged things better in New York and covered the distance more than two minutes quicker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmazing experience @nycmarathon!!!\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"article-content-link text-brand-primary underline hover:text-brand-primary\/85 break-words overflow-wrap-anywhere underline-offset-[3px]\" data-afl-p=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DfNX4zgm0KO\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">he wrote<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLoved every minute! What a day\u2026 Blessed to share it with the family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, and a nice PR with 2.27.12. I\u2019ll be shuffling the streets of New York for another two days, instead of walking, but it was worth it, haha!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A clear improvement<\/p>\n<p>Dumoulin was a WorldTour pro for 10 years, with his biggest successes coming with Team Sunweb. He won the Giro and the TT worlds in 2017, and also took stages in the Tour de France, the Giro d\u2019Italia and the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a. He was second in both the Giro and the Tour in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>However he struggled mentally at times with the demands of the sport and retired in August 2022 at just 31 years of age.<\/p>\n<p>He turned his attention to running and made that <a target=\"_self\" class=\"article-content-link text-brand-primary underline hover:text-brand-primary\/85 break-words overflow-wrap-anywhere underline-offset-[3px]\" data-afl-p=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/velo.outsideonline.com\/road\/road-training\/former-giro-winner-dumoulin-runs-debut-marathon-stupid-fast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">marathon debut last October<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, I started way too fast,\u201d Dumoulin told HLN at the time. \u201cI was running so well that I thought, \u2018I\u2019ll see.\u2019 I don\u2019t do that on the bike. I know what I can do and how to pace myself when I\u2019m riding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith running, I secretly know that too, but I just enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His ambitious approach saw him run the first half of that marathon in 1:09, but the second in 1:20, reflecting the weakening he experienced. He also suffered cramp.<\/p>\n<p>This time around he presumably did things in a better way, although detailed race results and splits were not available at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Swedish runner Andreas Almgren won in 2:06:01, 13 seconds faster than Yemaneberhan Crippa of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>The best women\u2019s time was that of the Kenyan runner Sheila Chepkirui, who covered the course in 2:24:36.<\/p>\n<p>Dumoulin wasn\u2019t quite as quick, but appeared to be very satisfied with his time.<\/p>\n<p>He previous ran a 1:10:16 for the half marathon in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dumoulin tears up course and improves previous personal best by more than two minutes.
