The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Nathan Watts crossed the line in 1:20:16: 68th of 356 men, faster than 81% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 64% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:44 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:49 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
