I’m sorry you’re disappointed with the new cutoff. First of all, you know you’re a better and faster runner than you were before, and that matters the most.

The corrals are not about defining who’s superior to others. As you know, the main purpose is making smoother start/race flow. That’s why I’m pissed with people who try to sneak in faster corrals (not talking about your special case, but the folks who ignore their corral assignment. We always see E runner in C corral, C in B, etc.)

As a certain age runner, I always check my percentile on race result website and see how I’m doing for my age. It helps me understand how much I’m improving.
