The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alan Tou finished 456th of 1,135 men in the Open division at Toronto 2026, in 1:29:38, faster than 60% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 70% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 48% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:03 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Ottawa 2026 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
