I'm coming to seriously realize that the issue of so fewer 55+ AG triathlon participants is possibly largely due to arthritis and other game-ending ailments that are really, really common, rather than just lack of motivation or lack of desire to do 'young man stuff' anymore.I was culled by a sequence of ailments rather than one single game-ender.. every time I decide to target a race, something breaks down..
sorry to hear of the arthritis.. my wife has arthritis in her back related to scoliosis, and the prescription is exercise..
running probably doesn't make it any worse, and might even help. best of luck and keep running..
