The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Ottawa 2026, Michael Hand crossed the line in 1:14:46: 52nd of 213 men, faster than 76% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:32 quicker than the median and 16th of 213. A harder second half: 2:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Toronto 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
