So, with an official gun time of 40:02, a supposed chip time of 40:02 (even though I definitely didn't cross the start line for several seconds), and a watch time of 39:56, did I run a sub-40 10k? Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't like meat, so it's a non-issue for me. My 24th birthday is the last time I ate red meat. I had already made the move, but Mom wasn't buying it. She cooked steaks on the grill. I turn 65 in July.

I tore ligaments in my shoulder, practicing judo, in my late twenties. You're due, [MENTION=443325]Scarbo[/MENTION].

You have just never had it made correctly.

I know it. I keep knocking on wood, too. I've been in quite a few crashes in bike races and even though I've gotten cut up pretty well I have never been seriously injured.

And, on top of it all, I have a love of riding fast motorcycles. I like to push the envelope there, too.

I've had more than my fair share of good luck, I admit. I keep knocking on wood.

I had a great ride this morning. First time in memory(years?) with no wind to speak of. What a treat!
And the pool has finally warmed up enough to peel off the clothes and walk into. That part adds greatly to tbe experience.

Seems a shame to leave here just as the weather is getting good.

Whew. I thought I forgot how to understand the written word. Your validation is all I needed to continue my day as scheduled.

Strava says sub-40, so this isn't even a question. Strava is the final arbiter.

Kudos, regardless!

Yes. Kudos
My best time ever was sub 45. Long ago and far away

Happy Trails

There's an old expression that says "you don't get old being no fool". No truer words. Sure, many do . . . . . but many don't. ;)

Ditto.

:gasp: :eek:

Sure.

My all-time 10k PR is around 35 minutes. Clocked when I was in high school. These days, I'm happy to finish under an hour.

Have you raced any masters racers?

That's fast.

My wife (runner) is always mad at her garmin time. What's up with that?

No, not at all. But, facts are facts. "Masters" is a euphemism for old, or older, idn't it? There is a very good reason that you don't see quinquagenarians racing in the Tour de France. ;)

All the time. They love to mix it up with us younguns.

I have a giant guacamole tree.

Yes, Mt. Wilson, GMR, etc. As soon as my mummy self gets over some tendinitis, back up there.

:lol:

You guys are too much! I can't wait to reach my 50th birthday so that I, too, can achieve that Inner Calm that comes with an inflated sense of my own abilities and potentialities.

Too much fun! Anyway, got riding to do now; gotta leave the geriatric ward for a little while. Do behave!

To what do you attribute this rare phenomenon?

wut I thought you said it's been up in the 90s there--too hot to ride during the day?

It's warmer there than it is here. :rolleyes:

I take capsules and don't taste anything. :foo:
