    Doing Triathlons at 50

    By JRTackett  |  Posted August 14, 2008  
     

     

    I am 51 years old and doing more now than I have ever thought I could. Ran my first Boston Marathon, did my first half-ironman event, and more active then I have ever been before. 50 years old is a milestone, but what you do with it is up to you. I spent my 50th birthday hiking for 2 days in Yosemite and climbing Half Dome.

     

     

    Oh, I also went back to college to finish what I started 30 years ago.. getting a degree.
