I'll second that! I ran a 50 mile trail race( Ground Hog Fall 50 just for 
info) and finished in 19th place. Then I looked at the results - I was 
12th in the over 40 age group and two of those were over 50.  I fact 
the 50 year olds had showered and shaved before I finished. There
are some tough old farts out there. Oh well, two more years and I'll 
be an old duster too. -)
