Respectfully resurrecting this request...

Me again -- is there anyway we could at least get an entry field for this?
That way we might at least be able to manually enter the information and then pull a report on it?
If you're looking for an age-grade calculator, here it is:

Not looking for a calculator, most of my races include it in the results. I am looking for somewhere to enter the data in a race entry other than the comments so that I can search/sort by it.
I'd much rather have RA calculate and populate it rather than users having to manually do this. IIthink we can all agree that Grubb is the calculation standard. This is important to many of us older runners.
I would love to have it calculated, but if I can get a field to manually enter it in the race results section -- I would be fine.
I thought I would revisit this to see if there is any chance of getting a field added that we would be able to search by?
Instead of worrying about your age graded performance, why not sign up for a race that has age/sex graded start times? There is dipsea on the west coast and Medoc spring here on the east coast. Of course, I’m not sure either us up and running now, but at some time in the future, there will be races again.
Medoc spring was lots of fun to run. All us older runners got to start first, and as it was mostly single track, the fast people had to be polite when passing.
Are we there, yet?

If you're interested in races based on age, may I suggest A Race For the Ages which ends at noon on Labor Day. Your starting time is based on your age. For everyone over 40, you get as many hours to run as you are years old. The 40 and under crowd all get 40 hours to run as many miles as they can or want to. I think there's a wait list to get into this year's race.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
I am more interested in grading my own performances based on age.
That way I can look up which performance may be best based on my age at the time.
So, a 2:44 marathon at age 45 versus a 2:50 marathon at age 53.
I would love to have an Age Graded Column in this view that would allow me to sort.
not bad for mile 25
To be an hour faster 15 years later is like, exponential improvement? You'll be a rocket 15 years from now!
How I wish...
Nonetheless, HermosaBoy, it is highly impressive how you've maintained that level of performance for so long. Nice work there. And ... I'd also still like to see AG calculated, or as a field to be entered, in the RA database. I download my RA data into an excel spreadsheet that calculates AG (from Grubb). Sortable then.
Thanks for the compliment.

The tables can be downloaded. It's not that hard to set up a spreadsheet to read them and make your own calculations.
