in a race you have 'elites' and age groupers.

age groupers are normal people competing with other people in their age group!!

In theory it's everyone who isn't a professional triathlete.  In practice it's only really used to differentiate between a pro and some of the very fast amateurs.

and age groups go in 5 year blocks

for adults it goes Group D - 20-24, then E - 20-24, F - 25-29 etc. below D are the junior categories with A - 15/16. and then Tristar cats below them - youngest you can race is 8.

when I get the time, I'm going to try to revive the Clydesdale classes - which are ranked by age AND weight so us large ones can compare against other large ones rather than just against the skinny whippets like CD.....
