Mid-Age Rider

I turned 59 this year and did my first sprint tri last week. WOO-Hoo! I love the challenge and the fitness I have gained. I'm even looking forward to the big 6-0 because I'll be able to step into another age group, and maybe get a medal

You guys are all my idols! I'm about halfway to age 50, been cycling and doing tri's for about 4 years. I'm not fast, but I tell my husband it's not a matter of getting fast, it's a matter of sticking with it longer than anyone else! My plan is to medal someday, when I'm 70 or so... :-P

Wow, I am so impressed by the 'active mum brigade'.

I'm happy for 60 to be the new 30 - too much trying to work out who I was in my 20s, but my 30s were good. Oh dear, that doesn't mean I have to have a toddler again does it?
