The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Gerard O'Leary crossed the line in 1:23:01: 298th of 866 men, faster than 66% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 51% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:54 quicker than the median and 203rd of 866. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:21 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 2:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
