So, today I got curious about the people running in my age division for this coming Saturday’s 50K.  I decided to check out the competition.

The first thing I did was check the women in my age division (50-59) in the 100K.  The reason I did this was because you can drop down to the 50K and still win in the age division if you decide to change races mid race.  Does that make sense?

Whether it makes sense or not, I found that there were NO women in my age division registered for the 100K.  That was a relief!

So, I moved on to the 50K.  There are only 3 of us.  That means I will come in 3rd! (or last, which ever way you choose to look at it).  As I looked more closely at my competitors, I found out something a little disconcerting.  Or maybe just plain old interesting.

I am the oldest. woman. running this race next Saturday!!!  I’m practically senile!  HA!

I don’t know if that means, “Get it girl!” or it means, “You dumb broad!”  I guess we’ll find out on Saturday, huh?

Either way, it means, Platform!!!
