Anyone on here who didn't do their first triathlon until 40? |
|
Am thinking about doing a Sprint next Spring, IF I can get my swimming in place. Right now, one lap of my totally weird stroke would do me in. Just looking for advice. I would say I'm in okay shape -- not great, not bad.

1. Haven't done one yet - but I'm 42 and hope to do one in 1 |
|
or 2 years.
But brother in law is 43 and I believe he did his first one two years ago. He's lucky he has a pool in his back yard.
He just did one 2 weeks ago and he came in 188 out of 330.

As long as I finish! Good -- that gives me hope I'm not completely insane....
