The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Ottawa 2026, Christopher McQueen & Cohen McQueen crossed the line in 1:14:02: 172nd of 455 men's teams, faster than 62% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:38 quicker than the median and 56th of 455. A harder second half: 1:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Ottawa ran slow: the 325 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:28 slower here than at their other races.
