I'm 53 and still improving. Started triathlon in 1987 and raced until 2001. Stopped triathlon due to two injuries that prevented me from swimming and that's a problem in tri. Switched to cycling full time once I recovered and have raced at a high level consistently when training.
The biggest thing I have found is recovery is slower, injuries more frequent and slower to heal BUT if you allow yourself appropriate time you can still vie for wins. 2022 was my most successful year setting 3 national TT records, one world TT record and two Master world championships...
This is not because I have figured out how to train as another poster suggested. I've won nationals 4x and held WR's an additional 2x previously over a 20 year period.
Stay consistent, train appropriately and continue to kick a$$.
