Bc we're not racing like a bunch of just got kicked, overly sensitive testicles whining about the water being cold or the wind blowing or it's raining or my goggles are leaking. We show up, do our job (which is to whip your ass) and head to the bar to have 3 pints while you finish your run. We also enjoy beating the F out of the young kids. Truth be told, sometimes we even taunt you guys as we do it. "Hey good job you're almost to the finish line..no wait that's me, you're only on lap 1 of the run, sucks to be you". (I can't decide if this entire paragraph should be in pink or not.) I say all this in half jest half seriousness.

In all seriousness now:

I remember reading something from USAT when I was in the M40-44. That was the most competitive AG in the country with more overall wins in USAT races than any other AG.

Now those dudes are in the M45-49. And we're still beating the snot out of you young punks. We're like Clint eastwood in Grand Torino in this scene

It's so much fun to use old age and treachery against youth, enthusiasm & inexperience.
