That's both hilarious and awesome! Congratulations on kicking butt in both the women's AND men's age groups!
The ONLY time I have ever placed in my age group was when I ran a 15K and I wound up placing 3rd.
There were only 6 people in my age group, though. I'm super slow, so I left before they gave people their awards. When I found out I had placed, I had to call and beg them to send me my cheap certificate in its lucite frame because there is no way I will ever place again in my life and I wanted it for posterity.

Hell yes! Hang that thing up on the wall!
The first time I won a medal was when there were only 4 women running, total. I got second. I wore it all day like I'd won the Boston Marathon. The only reason I got a medal today was because it was a small race too. I'm only doing small races from now on!

Hilarious, but congratulations!
Last weekend I did a 5K with my SIL and FIL. My FIL came in 3rd in the 70+ group. There also happened to only be 3 people 70+. He was so proud of that medal and ribbon!
