The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Brian Poleck crossed the line in 1:17:05: 165th of 866 men, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:38 quicker than the median and 41st of 866. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:48 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 5:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
