Don't get me wrong, I'm a back of the pack finisher and I'm only at the short distance triathlons. Would love to do some longer ones, but don't have the time yet to train for the longer ones yet. Nice seeing even older men and women than me doing these so I know that I can keep doing it for a while. And I can keep finishing at the back of the pack when I'm older.
I think that's great Chad. I was never particularly athletic, but my 30+ yr military career included a of of mandatory exercise. I was a back of the pack guy in my early years. When I put in the extra effort, I was towards the front of the pack guy mid-career. It takes a lot of dedication to remain there. I'm getting older and my back and hips need fixed again soon. I can't run much at all now. I look forward to getting back in shape. It's a good feeling for sure.
