Well, the mystery is solved - I placed 4th in my age group for last week's race. Due to a glitch in the results, it looked like I might have been 3rd, which would have been my first age group award, but alas, it was not to be. The NYRR fixed the error, and it didn't play in my favor.
To be honest, it wasn't really a fast enough run to justify an award anyway. The three guys ahead of me were pretty far ahead.
That said, I'm getting closer. In 2010, I've been in the top 10 of my age group in 4 NYRR races, including the 4th last week, and a 5th in a 4 miler in May. In January, my chances will get much better, since I move up an age group. That won't stop me from trying in the mean time though.
Thanks to the folks who offered congrats -- don't worry, I'll get there!
