I'm not going to let her run past me in the finishing line.

And I sprint to the finish.

And as it turns out, I won the master's division 40 and over, which paid like $5,000.

And I won the 40 and over the first time someone over 50 had ever won that.

And like the previous two of the, two of the four previous winners were like Mebka Flesky, who won Boston, New York silver at the Olympics.

He ran like two 15 and Abdi Abdi Rockman, who's a five-time us Olympic runner.

They're my friends after the race, they're texting me like, welcome to the club.

You're the master's champion.

And I was like, I mean, I only ran two 33, but I won by three seconds.

And if Shalane wasn't closing on me, I would never would have sprinted.

I was on, I was in hell.

I was in soul dying.

There's age groups every five years.

So 40 to 44, 45 to 49.

But the over 40 is called the master's division.

That's like a distinctive category at every race.

And it pays money.

And there's guys who are over 40 that are crazy fast.

Like those two guys were former Olympians still running competitively at 40.

And they smashed that.
