The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Deacon finished 280th of 281 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 3:28:04.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 29:35. A harder second half: 18:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 21:04 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Vancouver 2025 were 1:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
