The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ryan Blanchet finished 744th of 866 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:54:10.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 2:14 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Vancouver 2025 were 1:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
