The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rachel Armstrong finished 290th of 556 women in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:38:55.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:28 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Ottawa gained about 1:24.
