The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Derek Poplawski won the 40–44 age group at Toronto 2026 in 1:05:12, first of 26.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:58 quicker than the median and 2nd of 252. Stronger after halfway: 3:55 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:34, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Ottawa 2026 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
