The people who win trophies at races for my club are the same 2 people race in, race out...they are a vet 65+ man and a vet 55+ lady. I suspect this applies to most clubs.
Does this mean I'll win trophies when I get to 60+? I doubt it as there are more runners of my age and younger, but still in my age group, and they are likely to continue beating me until I give up racing.
What does this mean? I suppose it means that we enter races to compete against ourselves both physically and mentally, whilst at the same time living in hope that one day we'll beat our regular rival who always seems to finish a few strides ahead of us despite our best efforts.
