2:04 for a 66 year old with his ability is like walking. He did not want to run any faster than that so that more people would have a reasonable goal to "beat" him. I have no ability at all and I ran the Indy Mini in 1:54 2 years ago at age 70. And the "winner" in 70+ ran 1:41 !!! He still runs regularly, although recreationally, on the trails in Boulder. He could run sub 1:30 if he wanted to.
