Subject: RE: 60 year old Triathlete! Well I'm not sure I should be talking to you old folks since I won't be 60 until next year. I took up the sport two years ago but have been out of it for 10 months following a biking accident fractured my hip. It is a very addictive sport, I love it.
You had a problem with the swim, I can't run. My first event they had to cancel the swim (my best event ) due to poor water conditions so they added another run before the bike. I finished that 3k run exactly 4 seconds ahead of the last person. It was terrible. But I had a great (relatively speaking for me ) ride and did OK in the second run to finish sixth out of nine in my AG. It was good enough to keep me in the game.
All I can tell you is what I was told when I started. The three most important things about triathlon:
1. Have Fun
2. Have Fun
3. Have Fun
