"Very strange... but for some reason I thought you had the age I have..."

My wife tells me that I'm a 25 yr. old mind inside this older body. I think that could be interpreted that I haven't grown up yet. Of course she's 16 yrs younger than I am. But then she's my 2nd time around.

I'm 54 and will be 55 this summer just in time for a new "old guys" age group.

46 and having a ball!

Over the hill at 47. At least I have an excuse to get my tail whipped by most of the guys here. I am working on the excuse for the rest of you.

32.

I thought that was young. but my brother's friends (he is 20) do not agree...32 is old apparently. which is not true. 47 like Art is old. not 32. (of course when I get to 47, this will not be old anymore :-)

Turned 37 today

32.

Happy Birthday Cris in MD.

-Joe

yeah i would have guessed u younger. im 34 but my wife would tell ya 12

I'm 28, but forever 22 at heart. There was just something about being 22...

44 but in the morning feel a lot older,and still think i can do the things when i was 30 Randall in Tallahassee Fl

20... so I guess that would make me one of the young guys who reminds most of you that you're getting old, and occasionally reminds a few of you that you're not REALLY as old as you think.

Just rolled 47 last week - feel great.

Francois: nothin' old about that ;)

put the mettle to the pedal

i'm 22 at heart. oh wait, i also really am 22. sometimes i get confused.

mckenzie

28 goin on...at least I already know who will be in the dreaded 30-34 age group..

I've been 32 for a few days ... It's not bad, but it's not *that* cool either.

Dre'

47 and feeling great! As an old guy, don't you get a kick out of beating a bunch of 20 somethings at the sprint races? Not all of them mind you, but enough to feel like a younger person trapped in an old body.

I'm 31. I'll be 32 in a couple of weeks. Being in the 30-34 AG, I get killed out there. Now that I think about it, I would get killed in any age group, but I still love this sport.

Wishing all of you a fast and healthy race season,

Turned 30 a few months ago. On my birthday, both my knees and my chin were bleeding from a recent fall from the bike. Made for some nice pictures and I felt like I was 10 again!

Turned 55 in February. The beauty of this sport is you never grow up. I been wanting new bikes since I was 10 and am still looking for the next one.

I'm 43 and have the opinion that its never to late to have a happy childhood ... so I'm still livin' it.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.

45 this week, so I'm the baby in my new AG. Interesting how race times haven't gone up much compared to my last AG...when do these people start to really slow down? There's a couple of guys in my age group that will beat more than half of the Elites...

(That which is said in Latin sounds profound)

You guys aren't even close. I just got my Medicare card and turn 65 in a few weeks. Even though I think I'm still 17 my body does tend to disagree at times.

Have to go now, it's my nap time :-)

Looks like I'm the youngest here.... 15 (but I've been doing Tri's for 5 years)

I don't discuss age anymore, but I will give clues:

Computers had tape drives

Old enough to see KISS the first time around and still painted myself up for the reunion and "farewell" tours

Saw the Bicentennial quarters when they came out

Colnagos had round tubes and subtle paint jobs

Was not around for the birth of Elvis Presley's career, but remembered where I was when Elvis died

Paul Mc Cartney's Wings band was on 8-track

Watched Barry White on Soul Train

Take a wild guess and get it right (have to be the first one) and you will get a Team SOB decal.

I'll be 54 on my next birthday....August 2, if you want to send a gift, Francois. ;) ;)

I'm 42, but I could probably kick my 22 year old self's butt, which is kind of cool.

:-)

good to see we can have arguments on some points and have a good sense of humor...I will send you my autographed bio, looks like you love seeing it :-)

(sorry couldn't help it...)

mine is june 18, so send my gift first...maybe a little book with all the expressions you have in the US, to say shut your big mouth :-)

I bought this bike brand new when I was 18 years old. That should give you some idea how old I am. http://www.konarske.com/pics/bikes/1.jpg

Bunnyman,

My guess is 45.

I myself will be 38 on the first day of this summer.

Peace,

What is Enoch Root?

26, will be 27 in a few months. And can now run a lot farther then I could a copule of years ago. Starting my second season of this sport...


Ryan

41 but with the mentality of a 19 year old (good and bad). Some days I feel like I've lived the life of a man 200 years old. But other days I feel like I am constantly discovering new things like a 1.5 year old.

36 which, according to the kids I teach and coach, is pretty old. Funny how I can still kick all their behinds when we go to the track for workouts :)

At 17 I guess I'm one of the youngest, and one of the newest to the sport, for this will only be my second year of tri's(only one last year, so I'm not even sure if that counts). I feel more like 20, though, because I've been at a boarding high school approx. equal to college for the past three years. And off to the real thing next year...

Darrell Hoy

34. Hooray for me....I age up in Aug to 35-39. I feel exactly as old as 34 is supposed to, whatever that's supposed to mean. I spend each day trying to wring 100% of the life out of it. That way it doesn't matter how old I am. I am just living life to its fullest.

I have Bernie. Uncle Sam started paying my medical bills in November of 02. Whatever any of you young guys do, don't quit training. I did and the running legs do not want to come back.

Bob Sigerson

You are right about not stopping training. I was basically sedentary in my late 30s and early 40s. I have been at getting in shape now for over four years. I still can't get my 5K speed up to my old marathon pace. Don't ever stop training.

So Francois, we will see how you are doing when you reach my age in 15 years. Somehow I have a feeling you will still be doing sub 10 hour IMs, but we shall see.

Almost 43. My wife thought that I was childish last year when a 22 yr old passed me on the run to take the last "overall" award, and I decided to train harder to get him next time....I did.

Don't let the secret out!

My goal is to maintain my speed over the next decades so that I can maybe qualify for Kona around 2040 ;)

18.... off to college next year.

Wow, you strike me as a pretty smart guy for 18 based on a lot of your previous posts. Impressive.

I'm 26, still in college (Grad School), and I just started my second year of triathlon at the beginning of this year. I had never been on a road bike this time last year.

I'd say Bunnyman is in the same age group I am: 40-44, but on the high end of it.

Me? 43, but age is a state of mind.

Aug.5, in case y'all want to send presents.

This is my second season back in triathlon ( a nine year hiatus). I feel 25 again!! Two years ago I felt like 60 or so and went going about like an old fart. Now I use training and triathlons to control my diabites.

Alex Jonker

bunnyman = 46?

I'm 28, old enough that my rugby players call me old (I coach college), but young enough I can still kick their asses when they do! ;) This is my second year of tri, and I love it :)

Ben

35 Tough age group to be in

Ditto 35

Bunnyman = 38

I'm young enough to still hurt myself doing bellyflop contests, and swimming too long underwater, and doing other normal, healthy teenage-type things, and old enough to hope the second half of my 1st century is a great as the first half. I used to think that by the time I reached the age I am that I'd be in the running for an age group title in Hawaii...but the guys in my age group would have been top ten overall twenty years ago! I'm still slower than I'd like to be, yet I ran my lifetime PR in the half marathon just two years ago. 51 years young in May.

31 but feeling like 60 because I´ve got the flu today.

Just turned 50

Still young enough to enjoy this forum... but to old to enter in the the debates.

19...some days i feel like im 25....others i feel like im 12!!!

"Anyone can work hard when they want to; Champions do it when they don't."

So far, nobody is even close!!!! I must have a lot of people fooled!!!! I can't say whether I am insulted or flattered by the age guesses!!!! I am having fun with this!!!!

A few more clues:

Remember when Vittoria tyres were actually made in Italy

Remembered where I was when John Lennon died

Was in some sort of school when the Shuttle Challenger blew up (won't say which, as it could be a give away)

Cut my teeth riding on seven speed gruppos, and got better when it was eight

Nixon being investigated and eventual resignation- hmmm. I seem to remember that, but definitely remember the Dustin Hoffman/ Robert Redford film

Watched in awe at Star Wars, unfortunately not until it came out on RCA Selectavision video disc some seven years later; though was one of the few who did not see it in the theatres when it came out

Important dates:

Though John Lennon was not a Beatle anymore, he would not have a real solo career for quite awhile

Wicked Lester was the name of a band that two fellows named Chaim Witz and Stanley Eisen would later change their names and take on two new members to form a very important band in the '70s- and they lost the name Wicked Lester after firing everybody else

Paul Mc Cartney and Wings had a song on the charts titled "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

-and-

Campagnolo Super Record reigned supreme, while Shimano was labeled as a "cheap Japanese knock-off", and would not win a Tour de France victory for some twenty+ years later

40 in Brooklyn. Still writing poetry ("Riot in the Charm Factory" buy it on amazon.com), still listening to The Minutemen and Coltrane, still riding my Felt S32 (with a few upgrades), still somewhat poor, still married to my second wife, and still having a ball.

Well, I just turned 50 (same age as Bunnyman) and think it's great! Best thing about Triathlon is what awesome shape you get in. I have a better body than when I was Alpine ski racing at Mammoth Mountain in my twenties. I have my first race (of the season) at Lavaman on the Big Island next month and can't wait. I haven't run much this winter but I substituted Nordic skate skiing instead (feedback?). I'm glad the other old local (Bend, OR) Nordic racers haven't taken to Multisport: they might be skinny but they sure are fast!

33

34. Will be 35 in July - I thought guys were supposed to get slower when they hit 35...:)

Denewone 48 It's the best age yet, but thats what I said last year. 5 years until retirement then I can really train

60

I'm a young'un on the board at 26. Not that I expected anything really different.

From the clues Bunnyman, I'm guessing you're a bit lower on the age totem pole than people have considered. I'm going to say 33.

nm

Bunnyman talks like an old timer, but he's younger than me. (Saw your name and age in some duathlon results one time Mr. Bunny).

I'm 37 and can still dunk! And I'm white! Take that Michael Jordan!

Big EE

I'm 32, turning 33 at my first ironman, IMW on 9/7.

I guess that bunnyman is 36

I will be 34 this year but my wife seems to think I act about 19. From reading everyones posts on here I am not in the minority on that one. But after any hard training workout I feel about 80!!!!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun season. No matter what the age.

Craig

Big EE, don't give it away.

The guesses are getting a lot closer, but here's one more clue:

I never mentioned JFK. Why do you think that is?

Look up the possible dates at the bottom of the post. Then you may have a better respect to dates.

First one who guesses correctly gets a Team SOB decal.

Bunnyman = 35?

"What you once were isn't what you want to be anymore" - Wilco

I'm 48 and I'm actually looking forward to when I turn 50 so I can be one of the younger guys in the old guy bracket. By then I should be really good.

25

I'm 28 and competed in my first multisport event in 1988 at the Lake Lewisville Triathlon north of Dallas, Tx. Lance Armstrong won that race I believe.

39. But I think there's another question -- training age. Started in tri when I was 20, competed for about 12 years, then migrated to bike racing. Went to weight training about 4 years ago, and will get back to tri either late this season or next season.
