Things that made me smile

I was on my way to the sports ground when an elderly lady—probably around 75 to 80 years old—overtook me on an aluminum bike. I thought, Nope, not on my watch. So I tried to speed up.
She noticed, gave me a knowing smile, and picked up the pace.

I gave it everything I had. My speedometer showed 35 km/h—which, on an aluminum bike, is no joke—while we raced along a road where the speed limit was officially just 25 km/h. No matter how hard I pushed, I couldn’t overtake her. She simply smiled again, waved goodbye, and left me in the dust with an unspoken, Nice try, but not today.

I arrived at the sports ground completely exhausted. As I caught my breath, I glanced at the wall bulletin and did a double take. Wait a second… Do I know that face?

There it was:
"We congratulate Elfriede R. (name redacted) for winning the local triathlon championship—for the fifth year in a row in the 70+ age category."

Well, damn. Picked the wrong rival. - Still made me smile. Especially the absurdity...
