The moderators there can be a bit snooty and exclusive if they want to. But can't see why they'd delete your race report.
I got screwed over by a high schooler and a race director.
Ran 3 miles with my 13 year old daughter in her first road race. 7:50 pace after a 7:15 opening mile...she was hurting, but I couldn't hang with her furious kick in the last 200 meters or so.
My 13 year old son ran 7:26 pace in the same race. Fun times...hard to pay the $s to not "race" myself but definitely worthwhile to do so with the kids and make some memories!

Someone probably got offended by your sense of humor and reported it.
A work colleague asked me what my favorite part of Thanksgiving was and I responded "The Turkey Trot." A got a room full of mystified looks, but it's definitely my favorite part of the day. Outside of The Trot, the rest of Thanksgiving is bland and exhausting. It involves a lot of traveling, cooking and baking, and dealing with family.
Came down from altitude to see family at sea level and managed to pull a 1:15 half-marathon out of the hat. Very pleasantly surprised, then had enough time to shamble over to the free beers before the crowds got too big. Great morning!
15:44 for top 10 a few days after a 50K. Only a couple seconds off my lifetime PR! Of course, the course was about 300 meters short according to the almighty GPS, so closer to a 16:45 or so effort. Most importantly, I beat my girlfriend's brother in law by 20 seconds.

Zach got screwed. We should contact whatever college that young punk is attending and get his offer rescinded.
Dang I’m late to this but 17:40 and 7th place on a 3 mile course (race was advertised as a 5K -_-) Extrapolated to a 5K that’s an ~18:20. My best 5K before this 20:28 so if I had kept running I would have been on pace to a 2 minute PR. Oh well, but I’m pretty happy to know I can shatter my PR on the right course.
I did my local Turkey Trot on Thursday of this week, and I've finished already, so in about minus three days. It's all about those 70+ mile weeks. Nothing else matters.
I've been promoted to the Ostrich Gallop this year for those too quick to run a Turkey Trot.

How is turkey jr. doing this year?
10 miles in 1:08:05
Got my post-collegiate PR after several years off of training. Not really saying much though because I still didn't quite break 17.
Pretty awesome. First ever 5k under 39 minutes. I was flying out there and feel like an Olympian.
2024 Update:
now 8 year old ran 53 at the same race to win the AG. Phew. Few more years and Dad’s in trouble. How did everyone else do?
Won a baked apple crisp for finishing 3rd in my age group.
