We have seen this possession before.
Five formidable veteran athletes, ages 65–77. Patient craft, long competitive memories and ruthless clock management. Age is visible and respected; their comic weapon is treating impatient opponents like an easily managed meeting.
June’s morning run at the West Mesa recreation hall survived committee changes, broken floor panels and everyone’s retirement party. Leon, Marisol, Hiro and Walt kept showing up. June turned the sign-in sheet into a roster and made four longtime competitors admit they still wanted a serious challenge.
