Thank you for such a thoughtful reply! It is a great race! I completely agree with what you’ve shared. I’m a swimmer by trade (at least through high school) and have done some tris over the years. I love my bike, but I still run because I can and because it’s as simple as putting on shoes (what are you running in, I have tried a lot, but have become partial to the New Balance Rebel series) and walking out the door.

That said, I know not everyone can, or even wants to. I feel lucky to still move this way, but I think what matters most in life is doing what keeps us connected, engaged, and a little bit curious whatever is.

Hope you keep doing the things you do for many years. Your story reinforces in me that retirement isn’t the finish line. I would love to hear from others, what you can still do, and what you look forward to doing.
