Just fyi, some of you might have noticed this older gent participating in various races around the country, including our first duathlon race:

And I thought I was an oldie. Pretty inspiring.

Impressive. Add to that, a 92 year old lady finished the Rock n'Roll marthon in San Diego at the weekend (new world record for age) plus a 90+ year old (nun) started Ironman Texas a few weeks before that. I previously thought if I can last long enough I might eventually win and age group prize but at this rate it is only getting more competative!

68 year old woman broke the 10km Road Race World Record for 65-70 at Manchester Great Run a few weeks ago - a speedy 40.01!!

Bloody hell. You've dampened my spirits there again Ellen. Brilliant stuff.

Fair play to them. I hope I last that long too Andrew and have such good heath. I've been all excited about moving up to a new age group next year but it'll probably be worse than the one I'm in.
