What is the name of your state? California
I participate every year on a triathlon race at Lake San Antonio. It is a beautiful course and very challenging too. The "but" is that when they organize the waves (about 14)they send out first the males from the youngest to the oldest and then the females from the youngest to the oldest. so me at 43 I am placed on the last wave and that is when they begin enforcing the cut off times. Guys 20yrs younger have a 45 min extra time to finish the race. I have complained about it to the directors and they just told me that maybe I should n't participate. I told them perhaps they should announce on their advertisement that they put the oldest women at the end or "prefered young males"
By the way, you do not see this on other well organized races.
Like the man said maybe I should find an easier race or one where they are fair and mix the age groups and genders.
I do not think so I like that course and I want to continue doing it even if I reach 60.
Any advise??
