Has Tinman Elite Jumped the Shark?

Drew Hunter has a side job outside of running and is now a dad.

Sam Parsons hasn't raced in months and seems to just be lobbying for a sports marketing job once he stops being able to even make German teams (half the time doesn't race once he makes the team anyway).

We're now celebrating "2nd fastest season opener ever" and the "rookie" on the team is 27 years old. Some of the guys are getting actively worse while some seem to have disappeared entirely. The group seems to have killed more careers than it has propelled.

Are most of the guys just working in the basement peddling merch these days between sessions on the eliptigo?

Also, hilarious that all their friends and significant others are "photographers" and "designers" for the team. Wow, here's a black and white photo of someone running. Here's a super close up shot! Wow, I moved the logo from the left side to the center and made it a little bigger, we better sell this thoughtfully designed merch immediately.

Big fan of Reed Fischer though, and he's doing awesome lately.

And yes, before the teens come in here, they're all faster than I ever was. I only ran 29:xx and 14:2x.

None of this is what "jumping the shark" means. You're saying they're irrelevant, which may be true. But "jumping the shark" means doing some ridiculous stunt to try to get publicity and stay relevant. Like if they decided to set the world record for fastest 10k while juggling or something. But sliding into irrelevance without a fight is in no way "jumping the shark."
