The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:35:46 at Johannesburg 2025 put Dirk Bloem on the age-group podium: 2nd of 17 in the 55–59 age group.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:00 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:32 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Johannesburg 2025 and Johannesburg I 2025 were 4:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
