2007 HEART OF AMERICA TRIATHLON SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS In 2007 and in 2008 we used age grading to equalize competitors in each gender for the series championship race. Age-graded tables are a series of "age factors" and "age standards" which can be used to compare performances at different ages in road races. Age-graded tables show how much a typical person's athletic performance improves during youth and declines during aging. The performances vary by event. The tables were researched by the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA), the world governing body for masters (veterans) long distance running. The standards correspond approximately to world record marks for a person of that age and sex in that event. Achievement levels within a gender are: 100% Approximate World Record Level 90%+ World Class 80%+ National Class 70%+ Regional Class 60%+ Local Class FEMALE OVERALL Place Name Age City St Swim Bike Run Time Age % ===== ================== === ==================== == ===== ======= ======= ======= ======= 1 Carol Deman 67 Omaha NE 9:53 53:22 32:00 1:40:31 91.60 2 Carol Smolsky 48 Papillion NE 7:37 46:30 23:16 1:20:17 87.81 3 Connie Mann 43 Muscatine IA 8:49 45:30 24:57 1:21:32 81.66 4 L.A.
