What the--?!

Just looked up yesterday's race results:

66 ANNE SXXXX 561 46 1/2 F San Diego 57:50 9:19

Note the 1/2 for my age group. It figures...the one time I have to leave early I didn't have to leave emptyhanded. Well, it still makes my day to know that at some time while I was rushing home Peter, the race director, announced my name to everyone. Now I'm really motivated to keep at it.

Great job! And even if you weren't there to get the award, how cool that you earned it!

Neese said...

Why do they list ages in half-year increments?

Congrats on an AG award! I won one in my third race (a small one) and thought--This is easy. Uh uh! Another one didn't come my way for six years (another small race). Nice time!

It counts! Congratulations.

I read and read this trying to figure it out. I was reading your age as 46.5, not that you were 1 out of 2 in your AG.

Whew, that was tough! Congrats!
