Hey there, this seems to be a quiet forum where all the action and drama happens in the Lavender room or main forum :-) But hoping to hear from women in their 50s or older who are still training and racing full Ironmans.
I started in my late 40s and will be training for IM # 5 this year (hoping to be vaccinated this summer and attend my Sept IM in Maryland). I have done well being new to triathlon (first tri in 2014) and being able to do an Ironman 4 years in a row. Question is what did you notice going from late 40s to early 50s? I'll be 51 soon. And didn't race in 2020 due to the pandemic. Did you need more time to recover? Did you need to modify your workouts a bit from when you were in your late 40s? Would love to hear stories or experiences of how things went from 40s to 50s.
Thanks in advance!
