Subject: RE: Athena or Age Group entryAfter my first tri season under my belt I still don't know which to race. I've raced AG, I've raced Athena. The winners in the Athena category often finish within seconds of the AGers so hardware at either category is just a pipe dream for me at this point. I don't know what I'll do next season. I know one of the local race companies start ALL women in one wave- not bad but we start right after the Clydes/40+ group...which is a PITA to get around those dudes in the water! (Sorry guys! ) Those races I might as well race AG. Next year I will be in the bottom of my AG- I'll be 30 in USAT years (31 irl! ) so maybe I will have a slight advantage over the 35+ crowd? I don't know. Really at the end of the day, all I'm racing is myself. |
