The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, David Bottrill crossed the line in 1:26:48: 385th of 866 men, faster than 56% of the field.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:44 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 5:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
