Were Easily in their 50’s while the rest were in their 20’s (heard one girl saying “mom get out of the way there are bikers”).
When we were back at the trailhead the two oldest gals were the first to come in. We talked to them for 5 minutes and we still couldn’t see the other runners turning the corner (it’s a 10 mile loop).
Pretty amazing how many people that keep fitness a habit can continue to excel in their older years. Young people sometimes rely too much on youth.
Old fit people won’t break Olympic records but they can still do superhuman things.
