The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Don Joos won the 55–59 age group at Houston 2026 in 1:18:17, first of 32.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:26 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:10 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:27, was faster than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
