This is something to strive for, I think ifI can manage this at his age (if I have not fallen off the perch by then) I would count myself blessed

And he probably still swims faster than me!

Definitely inspirational. One can only hope...

Oldest guy that competes often in my area is 72, he swims like a fish, has killer bike leg, and is not to bad on the run, He did a sprint this season in roundabout 1:20-25 Smoking fast for his age. Then again he is retired, and spends all his time training

That is so amazing! It brought tears to my eyes.  What an inspiration!  I shared on fb too.

Very cool. There was another old man story here on BT not long ago that I had some mixed feelings about because the guy was falling down during the end of the run, needed help,  and I worried about him getting injured.

But this guy looks like he finished strong!!
