The race, in words
Cara Racicot finished 109th of 334 women in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:30:46, faster than 67% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 58% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:42 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Ottawa gave the field time back: about 1:24 faster than the average race this season, by 516 athletes who raced both.
