The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:33 at Toronto 2026 put Ryan Blanchet 680th of 1,135 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 51% of the field across all eight, against 28% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:51 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Ottawa 2026 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
