Croups forum > Dinner Dance and turning 40

When is the dinner dance this year? Last year it was in April is it the same this year?

Also turning the big 40 is it true that every thing starts going down hlll ?
Will my running times get worse?

I remember reading in runners world once that the best thing about being a vet was that the older you get the more chance you have of winning a prize as there is less runners in each catagories!

So far so good, Tracey. Welcome to the racing scene where the competition is fierce and experienced.

I think Dinner Dance is May 14th, tickets will be on sale from next week.

I'd cancel that subscription to Runner's World, Tracey. If you think that turning 40 gives you a better chances of winning prizes, then I'm afraid you're likely to be sadly disappointed. Having said that, it's just as much fun trying.
Also, it gives you the right to come into the clubhouse and call the athletes sitting at the table nearest the door as "the creche!"
Sadly, it's only jealousy, as I wish I was still one of them!

Well there go my hopes of winning a race, maybe a third place is possible, if i pick my races. Looking forward to the dinner dance.
