So, the 3rd place trophy

July 1st, 2009

I recieved word today from the race director on why I got third place in my age group.

BUT, first of all, I just want to say that triathlon is one of those sports where woman can ROCK IT until almost what seems to be any age.  The woman who won the race is 50 years old and couldn’t even stay to get her awards.  She had to leave to train for the Ironman.  How crazy is that?

So no fear girls, if you haven’t given triathlon a shot at 40 and have always wanted to, it doesn’t matter.  You have plenty of time.  Just jump right in.

Anyway, here is what the race director said:

Two girls in your age group were in the top five places. They get removed from age group to over all. This moves you from 5th to 3rd. Great job.

    That’s awesome, M. 🙂 And I am always inspired by all the 50/60/70+ year-old men and women out on all the race courses.
