Elites tend to be more humble and easygoing. Sub-elites often tend to be more arrogant and snotty. There are always exceptions of course, but those are just my observations.
That´s wy most people act like idiots on LRC: they are a bunch of hobbyjoggers.
That’s a typical liberal attitude. If everyone stopped striving at everything they do, we would have nothing. You should strive to be the best. Why should a pro athlete care after they have their multi-year gazillion dollar contract? Why should any billionaire try at anything? Why should you ever enter another road race or why should anyone actually try after they have entered? It’s called pride.

This post is dumb. It has nothing to do with anything. May as well post "I like toast".

Anyone realize that D3 runners are way faster now than 15 years ago? Back then you could run 26:20 XC and make All-American D3. Now it takes 24:20. Major upsurge.
I think there has been a strong upsurge in depth, but to clarify your assertion:
There were two years in the mid-2000's where mid-26 and mid 27's got you AA for D3. I'm guessing those were slow courses? Otherwise, for the last ~30yrs it's been around 25:40 average gets you in the top 35. A lot of years, it was low-25's

Actually it's not a liberal attitude.
The worlds hardest working ditch digger doesn't get paid but a fraction of the worlds laziest investment banker. The task matters. If you aren't being paid it's a hobby.

It is absolutely a liberal attitude. Liberals expect to get paid for their "passion" no matter what, even if that means painting flowers on the surface of lakes.
Liberal = lazy, make flower wreaths, get paid.
Ergo, DIII = liberal.

A D1 runner works longer and harder than a D3 runner, and incurs a higher social and academic cost. And gets paid the exact same: zero.
If that makes the D3 guy a liberal, it makes the D1 guy a moron.
