Hilly course so wasn't expecting much. Local race so usually do ok in age group. As I walked up to the start I saw the entire group of local women who keep inviting me to run with them. We are all about the same age 45-55. I haven't run with then because I am intimidated that they are all faster than me. They win everything local and do fairly well in regional events. All eight of them beat me today. They took 8 out of the top 11 female spots in the race and 2 of the top 3. I was 12th, couldn't even catch the slowest of the group. Still, kind of impressive for us older gals. |
