Probably because it is inconsequential and people asking things like that are like flies buzzing around. I show dogs. I forget their proper exact registered names sometimes. I forget which shows they finished at and how many it took them to finish etc. These ARE important things but I have more important things to store in my memory. I cannot believe that anyone really cares about this. Unless they are just looking for a gotcha. I hope the rest of America is as sick of this stuff as I am.
You obviously don’t run. People who run races competitively will never forget their best time. Well, they may forget the exact seconds, but they will not forget the minutes. I can tell you my best 10k time. 42 minutes and approx 15 seconds. give or take 2 or 3 seconds.
Now, given that he hasn’t run in 20 years I could give him a pass on missing it by as much as a minute. If he misses it by more than that he’s just plain making things up.
Exactly! And that is why you have record books, kept in a safe location for reference, IF there is ever an important need for the info.
We used to breed/raise/show, too. Our old records are in a box somewhere in the basement; certainly not in my head.
