    Ran a 16km trail race. Great. Placed 4th overall...

    ...1st place in the "Masters" category - 40 - 60!!!

    Talked about mixed emotion(s). I guess YOLO / health is wealth AND I'm in good standing for my age. It felt like a "good job old man / you still got it!" kind of deal...

    • Well done! I only run road races, and the guys from my age group (45-49) are too fast...dmay

    • Amazing man! I’ve gotten my time down to a sad 6:15/ km for my 5 k runs, what do you recon this would place me at? Dead last lol?_niko
    • Thanks bro(s)! The race was trail / elevation heavy (literally up a GDMF ski hill!!!). My 5 km's (road) sit a hair over 20:00 - 22:30...ideaist
    • ...@dmay: it's a neat age group where you can still perform pretty well as we all age differently AND live longer (IF we prioritize health, eh?!)ideaist
    • @_niko, NOT dead last, BUT not first. mid pack?! Lolz. Again, IF you're dealing with elevation it's a different beast and massive drop in pace.ideaist
    • Haha thanks man I’ve got work to do! You’re times are blazing!!!_niko

    • i ran my first race in may. placed 70th out of something like 420. for early 40s, i was rather pleased with myself, but 4th... whoa!!scruffics
    • What's your distance / time @scruffics! All that matters is you're moving / we're ALL built to move.ideaist
