| ...looking at triathlon results from the past and comparing my current performance points out some interesting effects of the aging process....rough estimates show that I have slowed 8% on the swim and somewhere around 12-15% on the run from my peak (age 30-42) which is very sobering. Granted I will have to throw in some more speedwork in the future if I want to perform better on the run (and I might because I typically enjoy speedwork) but it still is sobering. Staying uninjured or accomodating small problems is also a concern in training. Suprisingly my bike split on the Brewhouse course was FASTER than my split in 2002 and 2005. My speed loss on the bike has been minimal (despite some very unstructured training but I am likely biking more frequently since the majority is on the mt bike).
not suprisingly, the most difficult sport to maintin speed seems to be on the run where its high impact component makes it difficult to train hard, recover adequately and prevent injury as age progresses. |
