I was 49 once

Why do I suddenly own so many pairs of reading glasses?

34 here. Suck it.

50 is coming for you...if you're lucky.

I'm concerned that I'm aging out of this category in just 21 days! ;-)

Anybody have a discount code for Velotrons?

I look silly trying to dress “young”.......like skinny jeans.

Cheers,

I'm going to be in this age group in a few years. What do I need to know so I can respond appropriately in forums and sound smart?

Your trip is short. Make the most of it.

I can't speak for the female side of it, but the four-year-old male starter pack includes a convertible (preferably a Corvette), a s.o. 20 years younger than you, and badly dyed hair to hide the grey.

Good to know. I’m going to jump over to the 60-64 only thread so I fall in the right gender-adjusted age group.

Have I peaked yet?

Lol. My wife and I have a deal that I can get a midlife crisis car when I turn 50. Although it might be postponed to 55 with the toddler coming along. Kids suck all your money!

I sort of have.. I'm on a break I'm calling a year out but it could become indefinite :-) Am missing work sort of, surprised by that tbh.

Having set my 5km pb at 45 a few years ago, and with ever stiffening knees/everything am wondering am I past it (probably). Yet I pb ed at my local Olympic race and at IM this year so I'm confused.. will keep trying.

Can I have a "57.17 - 58.00 Only" thread?

Still have morning stiffness, just the wrong kind.

I have finally worked my way up the salary ladder and can afford the fast equipment...but feel I'm getting too slow to 'deserve' it!

If we can afford it then we deserve it ;)

Last year when I turned 45, I realized that mathematically I am now closer to 60 than 30. I suddenly started feeling old. After that I was able to read some Jack Lalane quotes and it's given me inspiration to not feel or act old. It is better to wear out than rust out.
