The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Ottawa 2026, Reginald Smyth & Oscar Morales crossed the line in 1:13:02: 153rd of 455 men's teams, faster than 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 83% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:02 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a slow day in Ottawa. Measured against their other races this season, the people who raced here lost about 1:28.
