This is David Rosenfeld’s blog for triathlon and other athletic endeavors. In particular, I plan to log my races, and comment on racing as a 50+ man with no real athletic talent other than the ability to keep going for a long time. I work full-time, but do have the advantage of the kid out of school and no longer living at home (at least for the moment).
So this is for all the non-professional, untalented age groupers who just like to do endurance sports for the perverse pleasure of painful exertion over an extended period of time. Whether this is a healthy addiction or masochism, I am probably not the one to judge. But at least I am hurting no one but myself 🙂
Hopefully this blog can give some solace to those of us who wonder why we expend the effort, even when we know we can’t reach the podium, and always drag the rear when we train with a group of other bikers or runners.
