2008 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
