Subject: RE: Most Competitive Age Group?I am in 20-24. I would say the most competitors and toughest group would be the 35-40, and 40-45, both in tris and run races. That being said, I am in the smallest AG, and even if I come MOP overall, I am dead last in my AG. I think it is because only really serious athletes compete at my age, and older groups have a more broad group. For example, out of 450 in my last race, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th were all 20-24m, meanwhile there was only about 10 people in that group overall. I think it is odd though that it is such an older crowd out there. I just don't think younger people are dedicated enough to put in the training time required by this sport. I don't think the costs are much more than hockey or basketball when you look at cost per year. |
