younger triathletes under 25, and older triathletes over 50. reason? the amount of discipline and pain one must endure to complete a triathlon takes a certain determination, maturity and focus (with fitness) that i never had until my 40's let alone teens, 20's or 30's. i really admire you guys and wish i had the discipline to get involved at that age.
when i think back to my 20's and 30's when i was such a lazy fat slob, i can't imagine getting motivated for a triathlon let alone a jog around the block.
and i'm hoping i have the drive and health to sustain me into my 50's 60's and 70's! these triathletes are amazing and i admire them as well. i wonder why in the tris i've done, the number of participants plummets precipitously after 45-49?
my fellow 40-somethings are driven by a severe midlife-crisis, so we don't count!! ;)
