The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Kelly finished 149th of 281 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:35:43.
The stations carried this race: faster than 63% of the field across all eight, against 43% on the runs. Stronger after halfway: 7:52 better against the middle of the field than before it. 10:34 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
