FWIW, Philly oly this weekend had almost 2000. Biggest AGs were M40-44 (256), M35-39 (229), M30-34 (186), and M45-49 (184). Fow women, it skewed a bit younger with the order: F25-29 (132), F30-34 (110), F35-39 (106) and F40-44 (94).
I'll turn 50 right before I do IMAZ this year. Still feel the same as I did when I was in my upper twenties which was when I did my last IM. I heal from injuries slower but actually get less of them. I am a little slower but I don't train as much as I did back then so it is hard to tell what is age and what is lack of training. It is amazing to me how fast the years go.
Old enough to be your mother... 58, did my first Tri at 57 last year, came in 3rd in my age group......................and there were more than 3 of us

Me too! What day? I'm July 14 I guess this means I'll age up and have to play with the big-girls next year... There are usually much fewer women in the 20-24 AG than those 25-29 y/os.
