Subject: RE: IMLP 2016 - top finishers Originally posted by LarchmontTri
I typically don't notice the finishing times of the top pros and AGs, so this may be a non-issue, but was I the only person who thought it a bit strange that a non-pro guy was the top finisher at IMLP yesterday and the pro women's champ came in 2nd overall? And Heather Jackson won in a course record too. I would have thought that the person breaking the tape would be a pro woman.
Oh well. Just noticed that interesting finish yesterday and thought I would ask the question.
As mentioned before its not uncommon for male AG'ers to surpass female pros. Ryan also used to be a pro, but gave up his card, he also won the overall amateur at IMTX. His wife Jacqui also won the female AG overall and would've been 5th pro. They are a crazy fast couple, and both very much deserved their race, especially Jacqui and her struggles recently. |
