inside 30 in general training mean youll probably go a fair bit faster on the actual day as long as you dont go out way too hard and blow up. plus as you get older theres veteran categories. 2nd on the no one will laugh at you..ive found in general everyone applauds a good effort but then im not going to the kind of events where everyone gets out rollers or turbos and shoves whatever it is they shove in their nostrils(cotton wool? answers please). im 34 and doing 25-26 min 10s and i regularly get outperformed by older testers.
