55 and crazy

You're not crazy...or maybe you are (?)  Who knows.  My family thinks I'm crazy.  My wife says it's a mid-life crisis.  So what if it is;  it's better than vegging in front of the TV with soda and a bowl of chips on my lap.  All I know is training has made me feel better than I have in 10 years.

Go for it, start training, at 55 you still have many years (Lord willing).  I ran into a guy at the pool this week who is in his 70's.....he's doing 10 Tri's this year!!! 

Good luck!!

 OH...by the way,  I thought swimming would be the hardest part.  I kind of dreaded it.  After 9 months of training, it's now my favorite.  Just read the swimming articles on BT and check out all the threads.  There's plenty of help here   :-)

Well, like I always hear Dory say "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming...."

Welcome.

Did my first sprint triathlon at age 50 in early 2004,  three years after having open heart surgery.  You're no crazier than the rest of us.

Good luck!
