The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rik Bradshaw finished 662nd of 866 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:43:51.
Legs and stations told different stories: 43% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:06. A harder second half: 2:36 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.
