The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marc Lalonde finished 736th of 866 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:53:35.
The runs carried this race: faster than 30% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 7% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:21 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Boston 2025 were 1:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
