What's the policy on a team of women between 30 and 35 combined with those over
30?
I personally think that 30+ is fine, especially in a TTT where getting dropped
from a group of fit youngsters isn't an issue. If it's the medals...well, how
valuable is winning a medal anyway when there are only 2 teams per category
anyway?
Just my thoughts, please don't get all up in arms.

I agree with Beth, let's get consistent on the age catagories - a HUGE
difference between 30 and 35, and how about a 50 year old racing against a
20 year old which is typical for the women racers.
We are all going to be Masters one day, please support this group if you
yourself want to continue racing (at least with your peers) as you grow
older.

I have been silent long enough and I apologize If I am beating an old horse
to death. When I was 30 years old I was a single parent with 2 small
children. I ran races and I cycled and trained all the time. My energy was
pretty high about getting up at 5:00 AM to run and cylcing at night. I
worked 2 jobs full time 40 hours a week and held a part time job of catering
weddings, birthdays, rotary clubs etc in my spare time. It was survival!!!
Now I am 35 and I have earned some very courageous badges of growing older.
Such as cellulite, tiny spider veins and a few extra pounds. Not proud of
these badges just have accepted them.
Today I have 2 teenage daughters and am still happily single. I no longer
run because of too many injuries and it is too hard on my body today. I
still cycle and commute and race when I can between being a Mother. I own
my home now and have a fairly decent job so I don't have to work 2 jobs.
My point.....The difference in age and character between 30 and 35 is like
night and day. What is fair?????
Is it fair to advertise a Women's Masters Class of 35+ and 5 days before the
race change it to 30+? Team Time Trial!!! Let me hear your point of view.
I am NOT whining....I only want to hear your opinions or points of view.
And for the 30 year olds....let me ask you this same question in 5 years.
