By the way, Leah Goldstein is 52 years old. A fantastic achievement.
Not undermining anything. Simply wondering why this is the first year since the race started that the winner wasn't in the 7-9 day range. Mileage was less than some other years, route from Oceanside to Annapolis has been done multiple times before.
Not sure what her age has to do with why the overall race was so slow this year. I'm sure there were racers of all ages competing.
What was different this year?
