The race, in words
Cat Garcia finished 286th of 426 women in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:47:07.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:57. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:58 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Ottawa ran fast: the 516 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:24 quicker here than at their other races.
