    You're the idol for us 55 year olds! At least you were before the two more senior athletes set their new records.
    I got a kick out of the 85 year old running a sub 4 hour marathon. I am going try to match him in April.

    Whitlock is crazy fast for his age and that is admirable. But he looks like shit compared to my 82 yr old father. He appears to me like a twig ready to snap at any moment. A little less speed and a little more strength and body mass might be healthier -- says the guy who trains too much and is getting too thin himself.

    Neurosurgeon told be that I probably won't need surgery... and the 10 IM's probably didn't cause the disc blowout, they helped me bounce back quickly. Luckily, I've only told a few people that I was "done," and nobody believed me anyway ;-) My son did tell me that "you're not that good at running anyway, you'll be hitting the podium in Aquabike." Time to get wicked fast before I age up... I will need to work running back into my program if I want to KQ in 2019... those 60-64 men are swimming, biking, AND running FAST.
