I'm 23 too. Started doing tris when I was 22 last summer. One of the very best decisions I've ever made!


After observing the fields at the races I've done, and now within this thread, it seems like there are many people out there who get into tris at a relatively later age. Also, the winners of the events I've raced tended to be mid-30s range (I don't want to make generalizations here- I am sure this is not true in EVERY race-- but these are just some observations I've made). Not to mention I've seen abs on 40 year old women that are of Dara Torres caliber (much respect!)

That said, my questions/foods for thought are: why do you think the field tends to be this way, and why aren't more younger people getting into tris?

It's called $$$ and time.  $1000 bike, $100 running shoes, $50 swim suit, $100 - $600 race entry fee, travel costs...and that's not even the training gear.  The endurance running, biking and swimming justs takes miles under your belt to get really good (see the thread on the bike splits)
