The only place I care about in a triathlon is my own vs my past.  I believe firmly all people should be striving to better themselves at all times.  I'll never win a tri, I don't have the time to commit to full training.  BUT I'll always work to improve my time. I will always work to be a fitter, stronger, human.  I'm in my late 30's and at better physical condition than my 20's.  How?  I've never stopped training. To strive for excellence is to be human.
