I love your take on the ridiculousness of AG champions in the same AG as the actual pro champions. I've come across a few young men who are po'd that old people with "unimpressive" times are getting more spots. I'm like, it's an AGE GROUP race. The point of it is for the 50 year olds. If you're so good, get your pro card. Aging will snatch everyone's fast times eventually. Signed, late 40s mom of young bucks in their 20s who can roll off the couch and do a marathon faster than me.

Absolutely agree that AGs (particularly under 50) are absolute nonsense. I get why IM uses them to keep people coming back and fair enough if people value their AG awards, but when Lionel is 90m up the road from me I’m totally fine admitting to myself that I’m pretty shit.
