How did I do at predicting Mt Washington?

How did I do on my predictions for Mt Washington?  I think I did okay.  Maybe we should have a contest next year like the "I beat Burt" contest.
 
See below:
Who will make the podium?
40-44   Gold – Sean Livingston 1:08:00    Silver – Mark Mayall 1:08:30       Bronze – Richard Bolt 1:10:00
Others in contention = Tim Van Orden, Todd Callaghan, Fergus Cullen, Joe Donnelly

Actual = Livingston 1:10:49, Mayall 1:11:23, Callaghan 1:12:13

45-49   Gold – Simon Gutierrez 1:03:00   Silver – Francis Burdett 1:06:30   Bronze – Dave Dunham 1:08:00
Others in contention = Scott Clark, Brian Ruhm, John Pajer, David Principe, David Quintal

Actual = Gutierrez 1:02:24, Dunham 1:08:19, Burdett 1:11:17
50-54 Gold – Craig Fram 1:08:00           Silver –             Martin Tighe 1:15:30      Bronze –  Paul Hammond 1:15:45
Others in contention = Ernie Brake, John Weiner, Paul Doe

55-59 Gold – Reno Stirrat 1:16:30          Silver – Kevin Tuck 1:16:31         Bronze – Matt Curran 1:16:32
Others in contention = Len Hall, Bob Gillis

 Top Teams?
40+ Gold – Whirlaway RT                      Silver – CMS                              Bronze – Gate City Striders
WRT upsets CMS in a very close finish…

I had WRT upsetting CMS, but I thought Fram would be running.  He would have had to run 1:15:29 for WRT to win.
  1.  CENTRAL MASS STRIDERS    6:18:25
  2.  WHIRLAWAY RACING TEAM   6:29:40
  3.  GATE CITY STRIDERS           7:00:59
  
 
50+ Gold – Whirlaway RT                      Silver –                                                 Bronze –
New Course record for WRT!

They Crushed the record.
 1.  WHIRLAWAY RACING TEAM                 
          1:14:29 1:18:05 1:19:32 1:26:45 1:31:31 = 6:50:22
         Paul Hammond, Reno Stirrat, Paul Doe, Doug Martyn, Chris Spinney


Single age records – I think 7 records could fall
46         Francis Burdett               1:07:09 2011                             Simon Gutierrez will destroy this 
Simon ran 1:02:24 - broke the record
47         Dave Dunham                1:09:11 2011                             Francis Burdett will be way under this 
Francis ran 1:11:17 - missed
48         Glen Guillemette 1:10:17 2008                             Dave Dunham could break this (I hope) 
Dave ran 1:08:19 - broke the record
53         Kevin Tuck                     1:13:39 2009                             Craig Fram will smash this 
Fram didn't run 
54         Kevin Tuck                     1:16:00 2010                             Martin Tighe could break this        
Martin ran 1:17:34 - missed
55         Reno Stirrat                   1:17:47 2009                             Kevin Tuck or Matt Curran could break this 
Tuck ran 1:17:06  - broke the record 
58         Bob Evers                      1:19:24 2009                             Reno S could break this            
Reno ran 1:18:05 - broke the record
