Triathlon - How old you are? How many TRI have you finisied?

Hello,

I am new in the sport and I would like to know in what age group you belong.

:D

30

6 tri's (mix of olympic and sprint)

:D

Sorry,

I am 39, plan first next year :rolleyes:

I'm 40 yrs. old - completed 3 tri's in 2005 - 2 sprint distance and 1 quasi-olympic distance (swim was 750m but bike was 40k and run was 10k). Altogether I've completed 17 triathlons - except for the 3 I did this year, the rest were all done in the late 80's and early 90's. I've completed 4 half IMs and am targeting doing a half-IM in 2006 and an IM in 2007.

I'm 15 now, my first tri was last season. Did the Xterra Sport (sprint distance). I loved it then, and I'm planning to compete in the Xterra Points Series this upcoming season. :)

Upper end of the 35-39 age group (38) and I have completed 5 of 6 tri's since becoming a born-again triathlete last year...my 2nd included an ambulance ride. This year I did two sprints and two olympics and my plan for '06 is 2 sprints, 2 olympic, and 1 Half IM.

Now 47
First Tri life (mid 1980's - 1993)
2x-IM Hawaii, (7) 1/2 IM's, about 25+ Olympic distance....injuries took me out for a while

Second Tri Life (since 2002)
1x IM Hawaii, (5) 1/2 IM's, 5-Olympic

Also, since 2000 15-Marathons (4 of which were Boston) about 50+ Bike specfic races (all TT's) and 30+ open water swim specfic races.

For 2006 I hope to complete in close to 25 events, 4 of which will be marathons, (2) 1/2 IM's and a ton of other fun events....maybe just maybe, my yellow brick road will lead me back to Kona.

Jeese, and I thought I had done a few. Bravo MHR.

Well, I am 21, and have completed approximatly 3 Tri-a-Tri, 20+sprint, 3 Olympic, and 1 1/2 IM.

Also have completed 3 1/2 marathons(none of wich were boston[joke])

Also countless indoor short course races(7 years of competitive swimming in BC).

Also race in a ITT once a week from when the snow is off the road untill it comes back.

38 and I've done about a dozen, mostly sprint distances. I'm going to focus more on bike racing this year so I may only do one or two in 2006

I'll be 35 in a month
I've done maybe 20 races, included 3 IM

25yo. I think I've done around 30 races? I did 8 or so this season. I'm a poor grad student funded by NIH now, so I won't be doing as many as last year when I was funded by my engineer salary.

35.
2005 was first season.
3 Tri's. One Oly, two sprints.

I have loved adding the biking to what used to be just swimming and some running. Rode in 3 centuries this summer. Plan on doing more this coming year.

38 y/o
about 25 tris, sprint to IM.

33.
I've only done two. Both last summer, both sprints. Not sure what's on the ticket for next year. I live in a new town and need to discover their local races...

I'm 53 and have done only 3 tri's; a sprint (800M/12 miles/ 3.1K), an olympic (mile/25 miles/ 10K), and an Ironman (IM USA Lake Placid). I also qualified for, and ran, two Boston marathons After turning 45, I realized that my body could only "tolerate" one big effort each year. By that I mean that I would pick an "A" race (e.g. a Boston qualifying marathon in the fall) and plan all training/racing with the "A" race in mind. I'm very injury prone after a good effort in my "A" race even though I usually feel great. When I turned 50, I began to cross train seriously, and did my 1st tri, a sprint. My future goals are to qualify for (and run) Boston each time I enter a new age category (e.g. when I get to 55-59, then 60-64, etc.). I also want to do an Ironman during each age category (maybe the year immediately following my Boston effort. I'd love to do Ironman Canada, and Lake Placid is a GREAT course...I plan on doing another there in 2007. As I get older, it seems like I'm losing speed faster than my endurance, so I'm inclined to focus on longer stuff.

46. I started doing triathlons last season to show myself I "was back" after a year of being ill and then getting a pacemaker. I did 2 sprints last year. This coming year I hope to do at least one olympic.

22

Ive done 8 or 10, mostly Olympic and one half IM. Plans for about 8 more in 2006 with some half marathons and road races mixed in.

25.

18 races.

I'm 32 and did my first sprint tri last summer! Planning on doing at least 1 this year!

I'm 44. One half IM, probably 10 olympic and maybe 30 sprints. I still want to do a full IM but I have a fairly rare running injury now (anybody had Osteitis Pubis?). So maybe I could get in shape for one in Phoenix AZ in spring of 2007.

I'm 38:
5 marathons
3 sprint tris
planning on 2 olys next year

14, I've done 13 tri's all sprints

Probably around 20 races, mix of sprint, olympic & 1 half iron. I'm in the 30-34 age group.

19&Under (20-24 next season :/ )

2001 = 1 sprint
2002 = 2 sprint
2003 = 1 sprint

2005 = 2 sprints, 3 Oly's

i only race on the internet

42

Probably about 100. From sprint to ironman distances.

21 years old.

Many years ago when I was even younger than I am now (as young as 12) I did a bunch of short distance triathlons, can't really remember exactly how many, but about 5 I think.


Triathlons is what first made me interested in any kind of sports at all! Heck when I first started at 12 I hated the running.... But by the time I was 13 something clicked in my head and I'd become a runner, and I basically drifted away from triathlons.

Now as my rebirth as a triathlete I've done a few more triathlons (when I was 19 I saw by chance that the first ever Auckland Half Ironman was going to take place in a couple of weeks so I thought I'd do that, because I remembered again how when I was younger (say 12, 13, etc..) that one of the things I really wanted to do is an Ironman. And I wondered why the heck hadn't I done that already by now, before I had the excuse of that I couldn't legally because I wasn't yet 18 by now I'm 19 so I most certainly should have done it by now. Unfortunately when I came to realise this it was too late to enter for Ironman NZ, however I did at least get to do the first ever running of the local Half Ironman a couple of weeks later).

At 19: Olympic distance triathlons, and one week later the Auckland Half Ironman.

At 20: Auckland Half Ironman and Ironman NZ.

Plans for this season at 21, to repeat what I did at 20 but hopefully a little faster!

49. Have probably done about 50 tri's, but unfortunately the most recent was ten years ago. My knees don't handle running anymore.

39

11 tris (sprint to IM)
6 adventure races, which are even more fun than tris

47

I've been racing since 1989 and have completed close to 100 tris (ranging from sprint to IM).

I'm 52.

I've done 9 Half Ironmans and 9 Hawaii Ironmans
and one Olympic Distance race

...and one little sprint tri at a training camp
I guess that mkes 20 in all.

Age 30

2003: 1st half marathon, 1st Marathon
2004: 1st Olympic, 1st Half IM, 2 Marathons, plus 4 mid distance runs (10-15 miles)
2005: 1 Sprint, 1 Olympic, 1 Half IM, 1st IM, 1 Marathon, plus 4 mid distance runs
Projected 2006: 2 Marathons, 1 Olympic, 2 Half IM, 1 IM, plus 4 mid distance runs

Age 25
I've only been at it for a year and half, but
9 sprints
1 oly
1 HIM

This year I've scheduled 1 HIM, 1 IM, 1 oly, 4 sprints, 6 adventure races

47 and about 35 tri's, I think. A couple of duathlons, too. Sadly, I haven't gotten much better after all of those.

49. Have probably done about 50 tri's, but unfortunately the most recent was ten years ago. My knees don't handle running anymore.
Can I relate. I wish it were different.

22, one sprint

I'm 24
2004 - Did my 1st ....
2005 - 5 sprints 1 Olympic Relay(i did the bike)
2006 - 1 Duathlon so far .... Plans to do 2 more Duathlons, 7 Sprints, 2 Olympic, and 1 ITT

39
5ks, 10ks, boston marathon, duathlons and if all goes well with my shoulder, first tri this year.:)

40
planning to complete first sprint triathlon this year

Will be 44 in May. This will be my 7th year to race and so far I think I've done just about 50 triathlons. Mainly a mix of sprint and olympic. Training for Gulf Coast 1/2 IM in May.

Well, hello everyone. First poster here but I'm on a couple of other forums, so hopefully my search abilities will help out and you won't get too much crap from me...

22 years old. 5 sprint tri's

40 as of last week.. Ive done marathons and duathlons and Im working really hard on getting a bad shoulder to want to help me reach my real goal, which is tris..

33

1 oly
1 1/2 iron
1 iron

Age: 47

IM: 12
1/2 IM: 1
Oly: 9
Sprint: 21

age: 19 and over 40 tris under my belt (i have really only taking the last 2 years off just doin one or two and relaxed and worked alot but plan on geting back on them this summer)

I did my first try a few weeks ago it was a sprint one and was the last of the season. I am planning on an Olympic Triathlon in November (Noosa Triathlon, Queensland) and next season I am going to compete in the Queensland Gatorade Series.

35. Did one novice (sub-sprint) the other week, my first open-water sprint is in June.

35yo. 4 sprints, 2 olympic as relay (I did the run portion), a few 5ks, one 8k, two 10ks, 4 1/2 marathon, 1 marathon. Been doing them apx 2.5 years. Still very slow and need to loose a lot of weight, but love doing the training/races. Makes me feel a lot better. Plan on doing a 3 or so more sprints and trying an olympic on my own if I can drop 30-40 pounds by the end of the year.

58, (59 per tri rules) did my 1st on Apr 22 this year. Came in 2nd in my age bracket (out of 10 or more) . Doing one aug 5 and one in florida oct 1st. Oddly, competition high in my age bracket as some folks are retired and get to train and/or recover more. Lots of fun wish I'd of done them when I was younger (used to bike race only).

Age 31. Races: 5 sprints. This year: 2 sprints and an open water 5 mile swim race.
