The race, in words
Adam Diamond finished 779th of 866 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:58:51.
Legs and stations told different stories: 25% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:37 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Ottawa cost the whole field time: about 1:08 more than the average race this season, going by 690 athletes who raced both. That was 12:30 off the time at Bilbao 2026.
